       Wow Scott ... I'd be right up to being fully ecstatic if I could
       reliably produce results like that!
       Well done on braving the next step in a fantastic restoration.

       Making something that looks somewhat close to those old lamps
       hanging from the canopy took some thought.
       My first thought was to use cylinder end caps of 1930's vintage
       Doll engines. That probably would have worked fine.
       After a bit of searching, I came across some solid brass
       fittings and 12mm glass globes on eBay.  I used cut-down plastic
       tapered stoppers to secure the globes to the "shades".
       One good thing about parts like this that aren't permanently
       affixed, I can change them out if something better comes along.

       This restoration is coming along nicely. Your solution for the
       lamps is great. I hope some day I have a reason to make some of
       them. 🤠
