Here is the Sheaffer base I think you are referring to, quite different. The middle base has a tiny holder, not even a pencil will fit, the other two are a tiny bit larger, and the pencils only fit because they are sharpened. The base in question also has Watermans printed on the felt. Why do you think 30's?

No, it was on Ebay, and the winner of the auction was kind enough to send me some pics of the pertinent pages. I did not think to get the date.
Live some, learn some.

I see, thanks.
The Greenalite lamps are similar to Amronlite lamps that were patented in 1917. A search on Greenalite finds that it was a widely discussed mineral in 1919 so it's inception probably dates to that. As the one seems to be a proper holder for a desk pen likely after 1925 and Sheaffer was using amronlite lamps from Decatur Illinois (Faries Manufacturing) in 1928. Therefore the late 20's is the most likely time for these catalogs to have been in print. Greenalite seems to have been more of a "line" and not set up as a seperate entity such as amronlite so I haven't found much in a short search. S. Robert Schwartz appears to have lamp catalogs dating to 1922 and 1923 and presumably after so that also supports a mid to late 1920's period. Doesn't the holder number for the Waterman base clear up what these holders and pens are?
