That looks stamped and cast, not forged. I can't imagine that it is Whitaker's work.

I happen to agree with you Ed. Looks like factory work.

I agree, no way do I believe that is forged work.

He should have looked in a world wide trademark registry not a touchmark registry...

Personally, I think it's a factory made casting. The mark reminds me of a glass manufacturers mark I've seen before, maybe Federal. Possibly they made fixtures also?

Sad thing is, people are going ga-ga over vintage light fixtures like that. If the seller took the time to list and describe correctly, it might sell better!
