Hi. Is it possible to buy replacement sockets? Mine has a modern pull chain socket that is just pushed into the round holder but it is t secure. I’m not necessarily looking for something original, just something functional that won’t fall off. Any thoughts?

I have the model g, 8734 series. It sat on my grandfather’s roll top desk for as long as I remember. Now that my mom has passed, it came home with me and the desk. My husband is working on restoring it now so we can use it again.

In reply to Mitul.

Hello Mitul

From what you are describing it sounds like the real deal. The 8734 had many different designs, one of which was the L AC (Emeralite 8734 series type L AC). I believe it is from the 1916 catalog. You should head over to emeralite.com where you can find the different models in the catalog. To the issue of the support rods for the shade missing, that is unfortunate, and I hope you got a discount but it does not mean that it’s not a legitimate emeralite. Some of these lamps are over 100 years old and some have lost these rods, unfortunately.

Congratulations
Sean

Hi Sean,

I bought an Emeralite 8734 on eBay but the stamp on the base is slightly different and has a small rectangle brass plate with type ‘L AC’ stamped on it next to NO 8734 TYPE. It also does not have the rods to support the shade. Is this a genuine Emeralite?

Thanks
Mitul
