Can anyone give me more info on them and tell me how much they might be worth? We know nothing about them and that they were mostly worthless until someone mentioned they might be valuable.

    If you can quickly go back an edit your post and click on "full image" for the pictures, they will appear in the text box. Easier for folks to see.

    Did you check Ebay to get an idea of value? If you search "Cordey lamps" there are several, for values, check Ebay "completed".

    Not too familiar with Cordey lamps, but a quick check showed some sets selling. The higher values were ones just with flowers (not figures). Almost none of the Ebay ones had the shades which you do have, and looks like yours are in excellent condition. I would think these lamps would have some value to the right person. Not worthless for sure.

    There is also a small delete button to the lower right of each picture, so you can delete duplicates.

    I didn't upload duplicates but for some reason when I edited them from thumbnail to full frame it added them. When I go to edit the duplicates don't appear. Sorry.

    This has happened to me. Look at your post. On the bottom you will see a list of attachments (ATTACH) Delete the duplicates. Next time just use the full image button on each photo. That works for me

    We don't really give values here, too many components not having the item in the hand, etc. More like we steer folks in the right direction.

    If you haven't done so, would suggest looking on Ebay under "Sold" with the keywords suggested. You could even do this a month from now and get new results. This "Gone With The Wind" style is a bit out of favor in some parts of the U.S., but who knows. From a quick look under Ebay completed, at the moment I think your best piece is the floral lamp with the double shade.

    These would be not impossible, but very challenging to ship due to weight size and the fragile ceramic pieces --fingers on the women's hands, tips of flower pedals. If any of that chips or breaks, value is mostly gone for something like this.

    If they were mine and I had to sell them, I'd try to sell locally to avoid the shipping.
