Answer
Hi, sorry for the delay. These lamps were popular from the late 40s and still produced in the 50s and 60s. with the shades and in working condition the are worth about $50 to $75 each. These style lamps are fairly common. What I mean is that most antique malls you would find at least one of them.

Thanks
