Hey LRF,
The last name is...
Hey LRF,
The last name is Higgins (rather than Higgens) -- this may aid in your quest for their designs. I have seen a few of their lamps -- their successors sell rondelay lanterns through their webstore -- http://www.higginsglass.com/ -- if that's something you're interested in. I've got a few Higgins pieces at the moment, but personally would really love to have a rondelay screen someday. However, at $240/sq ft, I'm afraid my bankbook won't allow it!

brbeard thanks
I saw one of there lamps at a estate sale and i wrote the name down very fast so i misspelled it .. the lamp they had was great at the sale they want 2500.00 and would not budge on the price saying it was a original from the owners collection . i thought it must have been something important to be that much at a small estate sale.
