My mother bought a set of antique lamps..how much are they worth?
I've been looking on the internet for over an hour and can't find a picture of them. These lamps are electric and have a glass globe that is an amber or light orange color and has a grape and oak pattern. On the base is the inscription L&LWMC 1971. Both the lamps work but the guy that sold the pair to us for $5 had thrown away the shades, because they were so dusty. If anyone can help find a picture and what they're selling for..., I'd appreciate it.....thanks!
The oak is a leaf pattern...not tree..
She didn't give them to me, I'm trying to help her find how much they're worth.
Hi. Without a photograph it is impossible to say. From 1971, they are not antiques. It sounds like it is a hurricane or "gone with the wind" style lamp.
Check the glass carefully for signatures or marks, sometimes they are very hard to see unless you capture it in the right light or use a black light.
I have seen an older L&L WMC lamp go for $200.00 in a vintage/ antique shop. One 1970s L&LWMC lamp recently sold on ebay for 120. I have also seen these lamps sold as unmarked Fenton, another marked Tiffa-Mini which may have been a trademark for Westmoreland glass, but again without seeing it...so hard to say. Another lamp with an L&LWMC bottom was signed D. Schnupp on the glass, another marked Plymouth Harlee on the glass.
L&LWMC was most likely the metal parts manufacturer of these lamps. There was a company L&LW Metal Company or L&L white metal casting located in Carlstadt, NJ until 1974. In other words this company made the base/metal parts and sold them to various glass & porcelain companies. You might try to contact the historical society in NJ to gather more info on the company and take your search from there. You could try asking the question on the antique & arts forum, there are many questions about these lamps there.
