I "inherited" a TV Panther lamp from my great grandparents. It was just one of the incidentals that I grabbed before the estate sale because I thought it was neat. I think I was 3 at the time :)
Anyway, I unearthed it a few weeks ago and someone was kinda marveling at its color saying they had never seen one like it. I always assumed (from my cursory research) that it was the "cranberry" color, but they said that cranberry was much darker. I thought I might ask someone who knows if it is just a cheapy one-off in a weird color, or if it is a rare collectible. Doesn't matter to me. If its worth $40 I'll keep it. If its worth $250, I might sell it. I just like unraveling mysteries and this is one of them.
Anyone here know anything about Panther lamps?

I'd say the color would certainly increase the value. By how much...maybe up to 50% over the more common black one??

No label. I did send an email to an expert who identified it as a Royal China brand and he had not seen this color before.
I looked hard on the feet for a casting or etching, but nothing.
I kinda like it. My decor is very mid-century modern. I had an idea to gut an old console TV and put a flatscreen inside it, so this little kitty might just live on top of it.
