<p>[QUOTE="gregsglass, post: 161625, member: 78"]Hi,</p><p> I used to buy Stiffel lamps back in the early 60s, they were expensive then. They were extremely well made. My ex sold them for 5 bucks each after the divorce. Over the years I bought and sold many of them. The Stiffle estate had a huge yard sale in Paterson NJ. I bought 12 or 15 lamps from the estate which were almost one of a kind. I paid 100 bucks each and they sold from 450 to 1 thousand each. I still have 4 or 5 in the closet. The market has gone down on them and I see them listed for several hundred but most sell in the 25 to 30 dollars. The newer ones made in Chicago instead of NJ are still expensive but no were near the quality of the older ones. The older ones are solid brass and heavy, the newer ones has some plated brass and plastic. You have a wonderful set of lamps there.</p><p>greg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
