<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Dean Anderson, post: 391725, member: 8327&quot;](Pics added in gallery) Hello, my name is Dean Anderson and I&#039;m a brand new forum member here. And I apologize in advance for the length of my first post here. I admit, I joined because my parents are moving out of their house and I have the task of selling their extensive collection of antiques, mainly kerosene and gas era lighting, over 60 years of collecting. As a kid, my parents dragged us around to countless antique stores wherever they found one. So, even though I&#039;ve been antiquing all my life, I never really paid attention to it. Now that I&#039;m interested, my dad&#039;s dementia prevents him from sharing his extensive knowledge about his lamps. My dad was a union electrician and a true craftsman. He started &quot;Ron&#039;s Lamp Shop&quot; as a side business and soon became the premiere electrician for some prestigious antique stores in the Chicagoland area. He restored, wired, re-wired laps and fixtures and if needed, he would install them too.&nbsp; Anyway, they have a house full of antique lighting, just about all of it is original and correct with very few reproductions. And the reproductions that they do have, are old and very nice reproductions. And there&#039;s also his shop full of parts for the lamps! The help I&#039;m looking for is in the pricing for everything, if that&#039;s possible. My attempts to contact antique stores here are resulting in no replies, a sign of the times. I&#039;m not going to price stuff through the roof, but don&#039;t want to give it away either. I really want to be very fair about it. I have a plethora of pictures to share, but in an email. So if there&#039;s interest, or advice, please PM me and I will reply. Thank you for your time and consideration, Dean.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
