Greetings All!
I recently landed on a Miami Beach Estate sale. My first time to an Estate Sale ever. I walked out with 10 sconces for which I paid $6 each. My wife said that the sconces are from the Garbage Period. I don't agree. Six of the sconces are made from copper but has modern wiring. The other 4 are huge and made out of metal and have some significant rust in some parts. However, they can easily be restored by replacing the damaged sections since they're attached to the sconce by only one screw. Let me add that the Estate it's been renovated and the Project Manager told me that the sconces are from the 1930's. I did some research and the ones I found online with a similar style were from the '30s.
Please help; I told her that if the sconces don't have any value I will wash her SUV every week for 6 weeks. She refuses to take any punishment if I find out that the sconces have some value. (Not Fair at all!) Help me shed some light to this dispute and allow me to keep my dignity intact.
Thank you in advance.
Frank
