Camel Cigarette Lamps
« on: January 17, 2015, 11:38:35 am »
I think this is where I'm supposed to be posting this now... Still new and in need of patience  ;D
So I searched and searched google and the only thing I could find was a forum from this website talking about Camel Cigarette lamps

Welcome!  This has been visited before on the forum!!!!

The previous post was "Info on CAMEL cigarettes lamp « on: September 17, 2011, 06:57:20 PM »"

It was reported then that only 500 were made of this particular lamp and you don't see them - Very collectible! 

As to actual value today...would have to find a Tobacciana Collectors to get your best value.  However, maybe someone on here can come up with one.  FancyPants might be able to chime in some info since then.

That you have a pair and there were only 500 made ??  I would say it adds to the value !!  Now have to find one so we can have something to compare with !!  If I may ask,, what did you pay for the pair ??

You bought both lamps in a lot of items ??  ?The one on Worthpoint is the only one on the internet other then yours !!  I would say you did very well !!  Hopefully someone with a membership will see the price and tell us what it sold for !!

Yes just give it a little while !!  There are other members here that may have a membership !! I think Rauville may be a member !! Hopefully he will look in tomorrow !!  No sense spending money if you don`t have to !!

So the suspense was killing me I started a free trial on worthpoint it says the one they had posted sold for $99 on ebay
Also I just realized that on one of them the E is broken. What would the value be on them together ? about what I paid for them ? Also how do I go about trying to find a buyer ?

Like Sugarcube said,,  ebay is your best bet !! But be sure to do a good description and on the title put "only 500 made" !! And put a reserve !!  I would list them separately if it was me !! Not as a pair !!  You can also put that in the description !!  This is one instance where the word "Rare" can be used and mean it !!
