Answer
It is old but not really an antique. Patterned after earlier lamps, it is probably made in the 1960s. The glass pattern is called quilted which is a little harder to find than the traditional hobnail pattern. I would think it is worth about $75 to $85.

I can answer most questions concerning antique and vintage lamps. I also repair and refurbish these kinds of lamps. If I don't know the answer I can research and find out.
