4 Crompton Harlequin Lamps Here is a recent eBay find, I actually got 2 sets of 4 lamps in red, yellow, amber and blue. Sadly there is no green lamp in this set so I will have to see if I can find one. Does anyone know when these would have been manufactured, and where..? There is no date code visible anywhere, unfortunately. Keywords: Lamps

4 Crompton Harlequin Lamps


Here is a recent eBay find, I actually got 2 sets of 4 lamps in red, yellow, amber and blue.
Sadly there is no green lamp in this set so I will have to see if I can find one. Does anyone know when these would have been manufactured, and where..? There is no date code visible anywhere, unfortunately.

Very nice lamps! I have some of this packaging, and a couple of the older pink + white box ones. The older ones say Crompton Parkinson Northampton or Doncaster, so I'd imagine the newer ones would be manufactured there as well. I think the date code may be stamped into the base but I'm not sure.

That's not a great deal of help even if we can find one, considering that Crompton have a two year cycle for their date codes... Mind Blown

I'll never get my head around that one Rolling Eyes

Nice set Ria! Cool

Nice set indeed. Now add the green one to the picture and you have the complete lineup (or was there any other color?).

Not sure to be honest. The only problem is the green one has a different base to the others so wouldn't be an exact matched set Wonder

Red, Amber, Yellow, Green, Blue to match their colourglazed set, and there was also a very rare purple option. Fireglow was an option too, but I believe that was a rebadged amber.

Hmm, never seen the purple one, that's my favourite colour so will have to find one of those..! Bulb Man

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/365380364123 Here's the purple in a reflector lamp. A bit expensive for two lamps, but they're available if you want them. B22 and ES
