Help valuing L&L WMC 1971 Hurricane Lamp
« on: December 08, 2013, 06:51:50 pm »
Greetings,

I bought this at a local flea market today and was wondering if anyone has any information and/or value opinions.

Loevsky & Loevsky boudoir lamps are pretty common and many were made in the Gone with the Wind style !!  I checked ebay and although the asking price or start prices are around $80. to $100. there are few selling !!   I would expect your acid etched lamp to bring around $40. in my area,,Texas !!  There were many of these made and everyone had them,,including me !! Although mine were a different pattern !!

Dear Mart,

I spent hours on the internet today and could only find it on Worthman's site, which had a listing for 2 that sold back in 2010 off of Ebay.

This caught my eye today at the flea market because it has an iridized treatment like Carnival Glass. (This might not have shown up well on the pic.)

Thanks for the estimate of value; its more that I paid.

Have a great week!

L&L white metal co. made inexpensive versions of many lamps including Tiffany and many others !! For one to sell for more than another just means that someone wanted it more than another person !! Doesn`t mean the actual value is more !! You bought a a pretty little lamp and should enjoy it for that reason !!
