<p>[QUOTE="Dino_Fossil, post: 3591953, member: 18526"]I have an Art Specialty Company Flexo desk lamp with a heavy, art deco style base. The patent is dated to 1943 (the patent number is embossed on the base). It is in good working order and has only some minor paint chipping. One of the hinge casing screws needs to be tightened, but I have not attempted to tighten it because I do not have the appropriate screwdriver and don't want to risk stripping the screw head.</p><p><br /></p><p>How much is it worth? I've seen lamps that are nearly identical to this one listed for between $200 and $500 dollars in similar condition on Ebay and Etsy.
