Question

vintage lamp
Hello, Rex I hope you can help me Identify two old lamps.  My mother and father have had these lamps for 35 years I know.  Could you please give me all the info you have and possibly their value.  My mom said she got these lamps from selling Stanley products.  The points she accumulated.

Answer
Hi, I am not familiar with Stanley Products, but this style lamps were produced in the 1960s and 70s and often were styled after the old Gone With the wind oil lamps. They can still be commonly found at flea markets, yard sales, and antique stores. The retail value on this particular one would now be around $35 to $50 each. Thanks
