[QUOTE="TheVue221, post: 565345, member: 10375"]hello, new member from USA. Background: We kept this lamp from when we cleared my mother-in-law’s estate several years ago. She inherited it from her mother-in-law’s estate in 1997. The original owner was born in 1902 and lived in East TX. Much of her furniture appeared to be Victorian, or repro Victorian/empire from the 20s-40s(?). It’s been packed up and I’m deciding whether to rewire it and keep it, sell it if it has any worth, or take it to Goodwill. Please help me identify any info about it and possible worth. I believe some of it is hand painted (raised paint) but I’m not savvy enough to know if all handpainted. It’s jointed in the middle, I don’t know if it was manufactured that way or cut to wire. That’s paint on the side of the plug, it has no identifying info on the plug or prongs The only possible identifying mark was the gold smudged spot on the closeup of the bottom of the lamp Thanks for any help[/QUOTE]
