[QUOTE="KikoBlueEyes, post: 4252081, member: 8363"]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.
