Featured What should I do with this chandelier?

Heck is this even a chandelier?

My mom had this for 25 years, last 15 just in her garage. It may be older than that. It sat in the garage and lost 2 of the green tops (are those called globes?) and 1 of the clear internal parts (which I assume is easily replaceable).

It appears to be hand painted, I question whether parting it out on eBay would be viable, since it's potentially unique.

I don't think its a Goodwill item in this shape, but boy do I feel bad about just trashing it.

Can someone educate me?

Thank you

 

I would part it out if you don't want to find replacements

 

That's 1960ish. The chimneys are replaceable, of course. Very doubtful that the painted shades would be.

Id guess 1960s version of victorian. Probably not worth much but Id put it by the road with a free sign on it and I bet it'd be gone in minutes.

 

If it were mine, I'd put the remaining shades up on eBay and and then freebie the rest. The integrity of the lamp wouldn't be hurt too much by replacement plain milk glass shades.

Sounds good. Thank you all for your input so far. I'll put the 3 shades on eBay and see what happens. Any idea what a fair price would be for each one? What about the 5 little matching guys on the bottom side? Worth pulling, selling as a set then trashing the remaining metal OR or leave them for a person that intends to put 5 new shades on the top if I donate it?
