Question
I bought this electric lamp at a garage sale. I'd like to know about how old it is & whatever information you may be able to provide. Thanks.
)
Well, you did good. That is a rare find, especially with all the pieces intact. It is from around the 1920s-30s. I have seen a similar design and glass color, but never with the figurines. Take care of it. I would say retail of about $200 - $250. For a collector, they may pay more. Thanks
