Antique or modern?
« on: June 07, 2016, 11:53:15 am »
I can't find any and would want to know if they are worth anything either way.

A copper plated finger lamp, made in Hong Kong.  I would say neither antique or modern, unless by modern you mean vintage.

Here's one:

It's probably 1970s or so. Worth maybe $15.00 at most without the hurricane glass shade.

I actually remember getting a copper one like this (with the glass chimney) in the late 1960's!  These were popular and sold at "historical" cities/places that reenacted the "olden days".
