Richard ,Looks to me like the wife called it right.I collect aladdin lamps,can't say they are aladdin lamps,but look to be modified lamps of some sort.Great idea,I just might have found a new use for some of my collectibles! sure like your custom! Had a very similar looking radiator in my 56 PU couldn't kill it,when radiators were radiators,and radiators were well radiators!
