Needing info/value on some lights and lamps before selling.....

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

Thanks, Jim.

Your pics may be too large for the site !! And I an d some others are on dial up so we cannot see youtube !! When you click on reply and additional options it will give the pic size for this site !! Maybe you can try again ?? We have one member that worked in the lighting industry and most of us know this category pretty well !! Just need to see what you have !!

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'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.

Value is so very regional that I can't really help you with that.  The kerosene ones do look like 60's-70's repros to me, but I'm looking at photos that do not show details.  You might want to take them to a reputable antiques auction or dealer & get an "in person" assessment.  GG

Totally agree that the pan pieces are early 1900's and some nice pieces.

The kerosene sconces....hard to tell from the pictures - but "appear" to be working reproductions.

I agree, a hands on is the best way to go if you are able to get someone to take a look/see.  Otherwise, you will need to post some pictures.

Do any of them have any markings on them?

Try and post one picture at a time in a reply to this original post.

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.

Resize your photos for E-mail or Web, Standard size and we can see them just fine.

I am in agreement with everyone on these. Nice fixtures. I think some of the shades have been replaced but not all. Mostly 1920s and 30s on the pendants. A couple of the wall fixtures look earlier.

still trying to post pics...

I have a matching pair of these

[jim_w]

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

I have 4 total of these "2 light" pans.

Any idea of a date and value?? anyone???
