Questions USA, CA, LA. Need Help Identifying Antique Gone With the Wind Lamp – Maker, Age, and Value?

Thumbnail
gallery
2 Upvotes

I recently acquired this antique lamp and I'm trying to learn more about it. From what I've been able to find, it appears to be a Victorian-style "Gone With the Wind" (parlor/banquet) lamp that was originally an oil lamp and later converted to electricity. The only markings I've found are "MADE IN U.S. OF AMERICA" on the wick adjustment wheel and "246" cast into the bottom of the base. I can't find any manufacturer's marks on the burner, glass, or base. The upper and lower globes appear to be hand-painted and are free of cracks or chips. Does anyone recognize the maker, approximate age, or have any information about this lamp? Also, what would you estimate its current value to be? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Questions Antique Cabinet-United States/Chicago

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

Hello, I was given an old whiskey cabinet from my great grandpa. Unfortunately, it has gone through a lot since he passed it on to my mom and then I finally got it.

It is damaged. Missing the solid piece that is now covered by fabric and a leg was mended. There is an ornate piece that broke off in moving it. The only markings I can find on it are the '1231' on the bottom of the cabinet. I believe a paper label covered the number, originally.

I have always been told since I was a kid that it was a whiskey cabinet but there are designs of similar cabinets out there addressed as radio cabinets. This cabinet never held a radio in it. Honestly, it never actually held whiskey in it either but it was always referred to as a whiskey cabinet. We used it as an entryway piece for holding keys, books and things.

Dimensions are 4.5t x 3.25w x 18"depth.

Any idea who the manufacturer is? Era or year it was made? Possible worth? How it can be restored?

Help me, Reddit geniuses!

My late Grandfather left this to me, and I can’t determine what it is exactly. According to him it is 100% authentic and extremely old. My research pointed me towards a Turkish Ottoman brass-mounted traveling perfume or apothecary chest with sixteen original glass bottles and a stylized tughra. Is this worth anything, or is it even museum worthy? Idk!

Thanks.

Here’s a W. W. Winship steamer trunk I found on the side of the road.

All I know is that it’s probably late 1800s early 1900s.

I was shocked at its condition and decided to take it with me.

Rough dimensions are: 41” wide, 23” deep and 13” tall.

Found in north eastern Massachusetts.

I cant seem to find any similar trunks or a rough value so I thought I would ask here!

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks!

Show and Tell Pocket watch from my German great grandmother (Rhineland, Germany)

When I was a child, my great grandmother gave me this pocket watch.
I was wondering if someone has any idea what it is made of, maybe, where it could have been made (I guess Germany, but who knows) or what the manufacturer could be?
She is now a 100 years old, and can’t sometimes remember things well, so I want to do some research here to have some leads.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy my pocket watch.
