This K133-46 is in a non-standard color, and was probably made for an employee.

The limited-edition Bicentennial Lamp.


The back of the Bicentennial Lamp has a ©Gunter marking, as well as the lamps limited-edition number and Richard Gunter signature applied in gold.




Original shades are seldom found today, this one matching the lamp. Because Texans had their own shade shop they were able to provide a complete, unique product.
