    Ok so I have been to the end of the internet trying to find a Stiffel lamp as shown below. I find many lamps similar but not identical. It appears to be made of brass, its super super heavy and the glass shade has the word Stiffel.

    Any knowledge about Stiffel Lamp era/value please post!

    Also - Im new here so if Im posting incorrectly please advise!

    The shades are not being held in by the 3 brass colored screws that would have been original to the lamps, so wondering if they are not replacements that happened to fit & the bases are by someone else.

    Did you try googling Stiffel Candlestick Lamps? I've found some that were similar though the base wasn't exactly the same....but I didn't spend too much time looking either.

    Welcome, Allthecolors. :)

    I still have a Stiffel lamp we bought in the '80s. Mine doesn't have the tall white section, but the brass part is somewhat similar. I don't know if my lamp has any marks.

    I just looked at my Stiffel lamp that's in my guest/store room. I misremembered... it's a totally different shape.

    The lamp I remember looking like yours was one my mother bought in the late 1950s or early 60s. I don't know if it was a Stiffel and I'm not able to check it out since it's in storage. Sorry!

    Stiffel made very good quality brass lamps and in some circles bring a premium. Here in my semi-rural Midwest location they do not. Maybe $20.00 each if I could find a buyer at all. You may do better (or worse) in your location. Think yours are late 50s or 60s.

    See if you can find antique brass or brass set screws to replace what is there. Usually there are 3 per shade. You might check lamp shops or hardware stores.
