Question

Floor Lamps
I have two lamps one has 5016 Rembrandt on the bottom, the other has The letters MLSC 3489 on the bottom. The second lamp does not say a name. I am concern that they are ruined because it looks like some one may have painted them. Could you give me any info on these lamps? I am attached pictures.

Answer
Hi, both lamps are good name brands and probably from the 1920s to 30s. MLSC? or MSLC? That is Mutual Sunset Lamp Co. I would not worry about painted.... people paint them all the time when the finish ages. In that condition... worth around $75 to $100 each. Thanks
