Angle Lamps Collectors Manual & Price Guide by J.W. Courter is the only book written about Angle Lamps. It tells a little about the history of the company, how to date a lamp, the models that they built and a good guide as to prices of the lamps and the glass. As an Angle lamp collector, I have a copy of Bill's book at my desk and a second copy in my car available for reference at any time. This book is a must for the Angle lamp collector.

Jim & Sherie Van Es have obtained a portion of an old Mercantile Catalog and have reproduced the portion on lamps. The original catalog said: "We call particular attention to our Assortment of Rochester and B & H Lamps....." "We carry a Full Assortment of Lamp Goods of all descriptions; Library Lamps, Hall Lamps, Piano Lamps, Chandeliers, Brackets, Lanterns, Globes, Shades, Burners, Wicks, Chimneys and everything to make a Complete Stock in this line." This catalog consists of about 50 pages, 8-1/2" x 11," and shows lamps as they were offered around the turn of the century and the price at that time. Use it to compare your find with the original.
