Past/Present Clients - I assist an internationally based cliental and supply lamp parts internationally.
I have two lamps I'm hoping you can help me identify their age, maker and an offer an approximate value.
The double student hurricane lamp belonged to my grandparents. My grandfather converted it to electric many years ago. The base is brass and wood. There is no identification as to who the manufacturer might be.
The other is a pair of vintage hurricane oil sconces. The are made of brass. The only identification on the back of the lamps read "Made in Taiwan, Republic of China".
Thank you in advance for your help.
Answer Hi Debi,
From your photographs. The double student lamp appears to be of about the 1950's - 1970's and has always been electric and made to 'look like' victorian kerosene student lamps.
