I have a pair each of these. The lamps look identical except for the mounting, so I suspect repro's.

The pan fixtures are quite nice, however it looks to me like the shades are all reproductions from the 70's onwards.  One of the sconces with the 3 lights in it is from the beginning of electricity when you wanted your friends to see that you were progressive & had electric light bulbs.  This is why there is no shade holder on the sides.
The pan fixtures are from the late teens to early 30's.  
Not sure what exactly you are asking for, value, style?  There are some books out there, but need to know what info you would like.  GG

I agree about the shades not being period.

I can't find any fixtures like the pan or sconce for sale to compare them to. I've searched the Bay of E and the www.

I'm looking for basic description and value.....so I can list them properly (without looking like an idiot...lol). Do you think the kerosene lamps are repro's?

Thanks, Jim.

Is there a "lookup" book available for this stuff? Any guidance is appreciated.
