| 2009-08-19 | catherine | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Chester has been enormously helpful, thanks so much for this site and for his time. THANKS CHESTER |
| 2009-08-18 | catherine | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | thanks for answering so quickly, i can't send a picture as i am in another state from the lamp, live near portland, me. in new hampshire, 3 hrs. to Boston, and i assure you it is a real tiffany, been in the family since early 1900's or even abit earlier, lovely kind of watery greens, pond lilies ,pond lily leaf base, all original, but as i say some panes to be replaced or cracked, probably aven the wiring is original except the plug.This is why i need a real expert, and i know it will cost some money, but i want it back in really good shape, beautiful patina on the base. Do you know if Tiffany repairs it's own lamps somewhere? |
| 2009-07-07 | wayne | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Mr. Reinhardt responded quickly to the question and most important, it WORKED. Thanks |
| 2009-07-02 | Claudia | 7 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thanks for the referral, Chetty, but they no longer make a patina to give brass that nice, new-brass look. I keep hoping someone will have a stash of it somewhere! |
| 2009-05-27 | Ron | 10 | 9 | 10 | 10 | No | Thanks very much for your help. I haven't had a chance to try the repair yet but wanted to respond. I had the same thought about how the repair would be done but now I feel confident to give it a try. |
| 2009-03-25 | Sandy | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | I was totally impressed with Chesters answer. He answered me immediately, and I completely understood everything he said. I had never used this service in the past. I've already told five people I've seen how fantastic it is. Thank you so much, Chester. I will let you know what happens, but it may take me a while. |

| 2009-03-05 | Debbie | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thanks, I will purchase the 14gauge. I have done a few in the past, but always at a class with an expert on hand to help in case I had questions. I have my own little area at home in the basement my husband set up for me. I havent done any projects for a few years. I just recently got back into it and realized how much I missed it. Im glad I stubbled across your site. Any other questions I have I know where to go. Thanks for your quick response. Debbie |
