Question
Hello,
What are Gone with the Wind Lamps and how can I tell if I have one?  
Thank you

Answer
GWW lamps originally produced in the 1800s. Typically they have a bulbous glass bottom and round glass top. They also burned kerosene or other lamp oil. Many were electrified after electricity became available. Reproductions of the old ones were and still are reproduced. Search for them on Ebay and you will see many varieties.

Thanks
