Which is better for restoring an old lamp?

The single shade (A). It is made to fit a 6 7/8 inch fitter and drops onto your existing fixture. The pair (B) are complete lamps, so they replace the lamp rather than restore it.

Do I need to check my lamp's fitter size?

Yes for A. Measure the fitter on your lamp; the shade only seats securely at 6 7/8 inches. B comes with its own shade and base, so there is no fitter to match.

Which gives warmer light?

A is plain amber glass, which casts a warm amber glow. B is iridescent amber with white roses, so the light reads a bit cooler and more decorative.

A has no electrical parts, so there is little to wear out beyond the glass. B has a socket, cord and switch that can fail over time, though the cast iron base is sturdy.

Is the pair worth stepping up to?

If you need two working table lamps, yes. B gives you bases, wiring and shades in one purchase. If you only need a shade, A is the direct fit.

Can I use A on the lamps in B?

Only if those lamps take a 6 7/8 inch fitter. B's shades are ruffle-top hurricane style, but the fitter size is not stated, so check before swapping.

Amber Glass Hurricane Shade 6 7/8" Fitter vs Iridescent Amber Hurricane Table Lamp Pair

Buy the single amber shade (A) if you are restoring an existing lamp with a 6 7/8 inch fitter and want the embossed rose texture. Buy the pair (B) if you need complete table lamps with cast iron bases and antique bronze finish, not just shades. A is a glass-only part with no electrical components, so its quality rests on the glass and fit. B is a full corded lamp with a knob switch and one light setting, and the iridescent finish and white roses read cooler than A's warm amber.

Choose the Vintage Amber Embossed Roses shade if you have a lamp that takes a 6 7/8 inch fitter and want a warm amber glass shade with rose embossing and a ruffle top.
Choose the Hurricane Lamp pair if you want two complete corded table lamps with cast iron bases, antique bronze finish and ruffle-top hurricane shades, not a replacement shade.
