I know what these are as well as I know my name, but went to list them and can’t think of it! They are old bodies of lamps that belonged to my Grandmother. I don’t want to call them “Lamp Bodies” though, what the heck are they called?

I did a quick search on lamp parts and I think??? these parts are called fonts.

I think you have the right word, they are lamp parts, right? Gorgeous, too by the way!

I am thinking that the average person would type in the words “lamp base”, when they did a search, so maybe you could include those words in your listing as well?

I think I like ornate lamp base best. I would never think of a lamp part being called a font if I were searching in Google. To me, a font is a style in typographics.
Professional lamp sellers might know this term, but I think it would be foreign to the average jo.
I suppose you can be safe and call it a “ginger jar lamp base font” to be safe.
