    Hello Angelina....welcome! (I love your name)

    Look at each one for a name......many are railroad lamps.

    Thank you! I will for sure. Just on a quick picture search I can't seem to find anything that looks like the red one on the left.

    You're welcome.

    That one is unusual to me also.

    But others will be along to help.

    Oh my! Haha! Her family came to the U.S. from Italy but I know she definitely found it on one of her picks. Definitely finding some neat pieces down in the basement!

    Could have been used in Italy as well. I remember them from way back when in The Netherlands as well.
    Another sign I'm growing old, seeing what I remember to be everyday things on an antiques forum:eek:;).

    Aquitaine Is What It IS! But NEVER BORED!

    The blue and red glass unbroken in them is supposed to be pretty collectable too!!

    The lanterns on the right are called barn lanterns. There are no Railroad lanterns shown hanging there.
