Welcome Mark!

We will definitely need pictures. Maybe start with just a few. Helpful is photos from different angles. Also be sure to photograph any close-ups of markings printed or stamped.

Hi Mark

Sounds like you are overwhelmed. I think the best way to proceed is to take good photos of each lamp including under the base, any marks, the plug, any details you might feel are significant. Use a white background, if possible.

Put the first one in the Antique Discussion forum (see instructions below) and you will get a feel for what works and what doesn't. While the members are not appraisers and generally don't do valuation, once you know what your lamp is, you can google it or go to LiveAuctioneers and get a feel for what things like yours are selling for.

I assume you have seen this link about how to present your items here, if not here it is. Posting a thread and uploading pictures. | Antiques Board (antiquers.com)

Many new members have trouble uploading photos because they exceed the photo limit of 1MB. Here are some instructions on what to do:

Phone
Email your photo to yourself selecting size Medium. This will do the trick. Here are two threads about how to resize pictures based on your phone type, if you need more help.

Using an Android Phone For Pics on Antiquers | Antiques Board

Computer:
Depending on what type of computer you have you can resize them. If you have windows 10, download them and then go to the bottom where the folder is; find the photo in downloads. Click on it and then right click it. You should see a resize option. On an iMac, @cheersdeers recommends dragging pics to desktop, double click on them, click on Tools and then Adjust Size by as much as half.

Good luck, we are here to help.

 

Love to see some of those beauties
