No joke, I have a project that involves them.  I have been commissioned to 
make a line of colonial bridge arm lamps.  I can fabricate or source all the 
parts I need excpet one troublesome little rascal.  It is a cast iron ball 
about 3" OD, tapped for say 1/4 20F or 1/4 IP.  I have posted a picture in 
the album titled "Lamp Parts" at the photo access site. It serves as a 
ballast weight at the base of the lamp No electrical funstion, no structural 
finction, just dead weight to lower center of gravity and add stabilioty. 
Any ideas on a source for a source?
