Question on Double Acid Etching

Jan 11, 2016
Issue 2378

Can You Help?

Last week John Styler of Prospect Heights, IL asked:

“I would like to have seen where the Double Acid Etched process, certainly a more extensive process is mentioned.”

We responded by showing John a picture of the Honesty Pattern lamp.

That didn’t answer John’s inquiry; and he writes back as follows:

“Alan, I see no comparison between the double etched lamp pictured and and this 6112 attached which is also double etched and I own. There is currently a Plumb 6112 at an auction house and also listed on eBay.

John’s 6112 Bowl

Can someone help respond to John’s question or add clarification?
