<p>[QUOTE=&quot;verybrad, post: 216473, member: 37&quot;]It is called a bridge lamp and dates to about 1930 (give or take).&nbsp; I would clean it and put a coat of paste wax on it to preserve and protect it.&nbsp; A new cord is a must.&nbsp; I used to sell these refurbished with a shade in the $100- 150.00 range regularly here in semi-rural Midwest at retail.&nbsp; I would be very lucky to get that these days, as values have dropped. You don&#039;t necessarily need to find your exact lamp.&nbsp; Values are pretty much the same if comparing similarly ornate lamps.&nbsp; I see prices for some on ebay are better than what I could get locally.</p><p><br /></p><p>I might mention that you often see these being sold with a glass shade.&nbsp; Originally, most had a paper or cloth shade.&nbsp; Dealers have fitted them with the glass shades, as most buyers don&#039;t care about originality (or don&#039;t know the difference) and are drawn to the configuration with a pretty glass shade.&nbsp; Your lamp should be heavy enough for a glass shade.&nbsp; Many are not and are prone to being top-heavy with one.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
