Featured Raymond Waites for Tyndale/FC dual column lamp

Hey everyone, recently found this Frederick Cooper / Raymond Waites for Tyndale lamp at a goodwill style store near me. I absolutely love it, but am having trouble finding more information on it. I believe it's from the 80s/90s. When I run the pictures thru Google lens I've been unable to find one just like it. Looking for information on rarity/production numbers and what it could be worth (hopefully more than I paid lol). As far as I can tell it is quite rare and have emailed the high point market - which from what I've read online he did a lot of work with them. Just seeing if anyone's ever seen one or has any recommendations for resources to learning more about it. Thanks!

 

It looks newer to me too, but if you like it and want to use it then go for it.

 

You're right. From the articles I can find Raymond waites started designing for Tyndale in 94. So it's at least from the 90s. However you'd think more of the same models could be found online. I can find multiple of the same styles of his other lamps online but not this one. Making me think it could potentially be a custom one off design?

 

I'd say doubtful, but it may not have been a popular one.

 

It's actually a restrained tasteful version of Hollywood Regency. It's that your stuff in the background-looks too high end for a Good Will.

 

I love it too! It's obviously of good quality. The shade is awesome and the pineapples on the columns are fabulous, just my style. Sometimes I think with an item that is "newer", you don't find on the internet because most of their owners aren't finished using them yet. If my parents had a lamp like that, I would definitely keep it. I can't believe it was in GW and that store in background looks better than GW.

 

It's called habitat for humanity. Not sure if it's as wide spread as GW but same concept just a bit more pricey. I was super surprised by the stuff they had in there.

 

We've got a fair amount of Habitat For Humanity locations around Portland. It's an NGO, and you may remember Jimmy Carter volunteering to work on building houses for them.Def not Good Will.
Here's a Wiki summary of them-
'Habitat for Humanity works to help build/ improve homes for families of low-income/disadvantaged backgrounds. Work's done using volunteer labor, including Habitat homeowners thru sweat equity, along w/ paid contractors for some construction & infrastructure needs.Habitat makes no profit from the sales.'

 

I just meant in the aspect of the products being donated and resold.

 

Unlike Ill Will, the ReStore/Habitat does what it says it will. Their prices are often too high for resale, but if you're looking to furnish a home or apartment I can highly recommend them. You can get really useful furniture for really good prices, and smaller items too.

I scored a friend a 100 year-old Dr Pepper advertising mirror in there, too, about a month ago. I could have bought a 1980s Denver/NY Giants stretch photo today, but my Giants fan dad has been gone 20 years. It won't be there long.

 

Ditto Ruth-They actually get some pretty good,usable building materials too.

 

Ours are ReStore. That's where the Canadian gal founed all that lovely Meissen. Haven't been to one lately...

 

I was in the local one twice this week. Found Williams-Sonoma salt and pepper grinders on Tuesday, marked $3. They're still sold in the store for $100/set. I handed them off to a friend from church whose husband likes to cook. She was there too. Usually the "expert" marks things full retail or what she thinks is retail, but once in a while she blows it.

They're geared to mostly furniture and building materials here, but in Pennsylvania and elsewhere the stores carry clothing, smalls etc too and in quantity.
