Antique Questions Forum / Re: Hand Carved Wood Lamp's Worth

How tall is each section ??  Wood base and the candle part ?? I am not sure that the candle part belongs with it either !!  I will do some looking tomorrow and see if I can find something similar !!

The base to top is 19", and the candle part is 5". Thanks for trying to help me. I had it on craigslist for $50. I have a feeling it's worth a lot more than that.

Antique Questions Forum / Hand Carved Wood Lamp's Worth

« on: December 03, 2011, 03:14:21 pm »

I am wondering what this lamp may be worth. Also, is it an antique or newer-maybe retro? The pictures really don't show the actual color, which is dark brown. It is extremely heavy. The candle part, I think, was probably added later. I'm not even sure it was meant to be a lamp. The cord is the old style, nothing like the ones of today:I don't have a good picture of it.

Thanks for any help you can give me.

I couldn't find any phone nos. As a matter of fact, they are fighting to keep opened at the museum. So I'm going another route to try to find out what it's worth.

Thank you for your help. I didn't think to check with either Paramount or for a Hollywood Museum. I have, however, googled it and this was the only information I could find.

Antique Questions Forum / What is This Railroad Spike Worth?

We have a railroad spike that was given to participants for the movie Union Pacific in 1939. There is writing on all four sides. The first is 70th. Anniversary Completion First Transcontinental Railroad. Second side is A Paramount Picture. Third side is Cecil B. Demille's "Union Pacific" Fourth side is Starring Barbara Stanwyck-Joel McCrea. I don't know what it is made from.

I have not been able to find any information as to what it might be worth, although, my husband was told that it has been sold for over $600 in the UK.

I would appreciate finding out what it's true value is. Thanks.
