The lady I have has the bulb screw directly into the base of her body, but I know there is a lot of variation between pieces. If this Munzerlite Lamp was mine, I'd leave her as she was. But this is a commission, so I'm restoring her as best I can. There's not a lot of information out there about clothes. I've seen two choices. Marie Antoinette types, as interpreted through the 1930's, and Mid Victorian crinoline ladies in bonnets, also with 1930's tweaks. This one will be in a crinoline, because that is what's wanted and she will have a bonnet, as she doesn't have enough original hair to be re-wigged. I hope that helps.Rhissannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09001501916407616825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6894236052593800081.post-83229162286662755382012-06-10T13:43:20.268-07:002012-06-10T13:43:20.268-07:00So happy to come across this post as today I purch...So happy to come across this post as today I purchased a Munzerlite doll lamp at a flea market for $10.00! I am uncertain as to whether or not I want to fix her. She has some damage to the side of her neck/shoulder and top of her head. I suspect that's where the rod was for the lamp.Marsha @ Tattered Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02649306456279297614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6894236052593800081.post-42344224495838646242012-05-15T00:18:54.909-07:002012-05-15T00:18:54.909-07:00That's very sweet of you to say so, Sherry.
