This very busy shade was produced by Gibson during the 1920s in two variations. The one up for auction is the later variant. The earlier version has cut-out silhouettes as part of the main frame, rather than having these images printed directly onto the orange paper. These early versions are much rarer and have a value significantly greater than later versions. This item has but one bid at $19.99, so a bargain may be in the offing.
