I really think this needs to be taken out of that frame to evaluate it further.  Trimming, rippling, water spots, etc. could devalue this print if found on the image.

I'm not sure I could get this frame back together again. I have a feeling that a new frame would have to be used and that takes away from the family value since this still means a lot to my father.

Thanks for all of your replies.

I have what appears to be a lithograph that was given to me by my father and belonged to my great-grandmother decades before he had it.

The artist is J. Cliff Hutchins (M&B NY). I've googled and found the exact print at an auction in 2001 without any more details than that which I already know. Plus, I've seen some other prints that are similar in theme by this artist.

Anyone know the value of this print?

Thanks,
John

A very nice looking lamp but I would not plug this in until the cord and wiring checks out.  With material wrapped cord it is hard to determine what shape the insulation is in and there may be cracks/bare spots that are not visible due to the covering.

Someone may be able to help you on further info.

Thanks and I agree 100% about having the wiring checked!

Antique Questions Forum / Floor Lamp - Advance Parcholite

« on: August 14, 2010, 02:09:06 pm »

My grandmother gave me this floor lamp and mentioned that it belonged to her grandparents since the 1930's. It's all original right down to the old fashioned plug. The lamp pole seems to be made entirely of wood and is painted gold throughout.

The only writing that I could find is on the bottom and it reads "Advance Parcholite A-3." Based on this I found the original patent date for the light fixture (filed July 6, 1925 & registered July 12, 1927).

Any value or more information about this lamp is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
John
