Wheeler Co., Inc. of Greenwich, Connecticut. We haven't found out yet when the company started, but we did find a record that indicates a Melville G. Wheeler filed for incorporation on July 27, 1950. I found conflicting information about a date for the lamps, with one source stating that it was a 1930 design, while another claimed it was a product of the 1940, and several others said 1950 but, following the design and style we can assure is a 1930's design. Note: A swivel version also exist and It is believed these lamps were initially made for submarines. The swivel lamps were made of brass and spun steel. Other versions were also produced with design variants in the base. Literature: To be researched. Condition: The overall condition of this ring is excellent. Beside the little normal wear, there is no damage to the gold. All gemstones, are secured in the settings. This piece has been carefully inspected to guarantee the condition and authenticity.
