Question
I'm trying to find a small Florence Nightingale Lamp ceramic mold. I have no idea what company made them.

Answer
Diane,

It can be very confusing finding a mold now, even if you know who made the mold. So many of the companies have merged, been bought out, acquired.

Starlite has many of the main companies. You might start with them.
Mackie has Booth, Holland, Whitehorse, Atlantic...

If you totally run into dead ends with those two, try this unknown gem of an expert; Robert Petro at Petro molds. He's a gem I discovered recently. He's very knowledgeable, extremely gracious. He and his wife own Petro molds. I'm working with him to create a custom mold for me. His e-mail is; Petro@velocity.net

Good hunting! Leisha
