There appears to be two different lamp forms made by the Snead & Co. The first is the Snead Victory Lamp in black and has the “Snead 75 MM. Victory Lamp” tag on its based. The second is the Snead- Decorative Arts League, Uncle Ed lamp in polished steel and olive green that is made in sections and has the “Uncle Ed” Lamp tag on its base. Two different, yet similar lamps made by the Snead company from Morgan Explosion shells. My photo documented “Uncle Ed” lamp is shown here : http://www.surplusrifleforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=79&t=186&start=120
