Regarding to your question about MIDWAY of FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT ( FLW) , please see the below explanation. , In February 1994, 12 styles of Lightings from the FLW lighting series manufactured by YAMAGIWA were announced at the MoMA Museum of Modern Art, New York. “MIDWAY” series is also included in it. Products that we manufactured under license have a plate that indicates that they are officially approved by the Wright Foundation. The serial number is engraved on this plate. The serial number is divided into Japan, Europe, and America, and 00065 is the 55th unit sold in the United States (1 to 10 are in Foundation storage). Unfortunately Production numbers cannot be disclosed. For the FLW lighting series seen in the market, the plate with this serial number is proof of whether it is an officially licensed product. The MIDWAY was discontinued after that, but it was remanufactured for the Japanese market a few years ago with some changes to the specifications. n https://www.Yamagiwa.co.jp/products/322s7432/ Wright designs often use a red color square called "Cherokee Red". Some of the TALIESIN series sold by YAMAGIWA use Cherokee Red, but some do not. image003.jpg Hope this explanation helps you.
