Antique Questions Forum / Vintage Lamp

« on: April 25, 2026, 11:45:26 AM »

This lamp is 25.5" H.
The lamp shade is 16" across.
The base is 8" across and has the number 28 stamped into it.
It's very heavy. I'm guessing around 10 - 15 lb, so maybe it's solid brass?
I took a close up of the cord and plug and to me it appears to be 1950s, maybe?
It has two light bulb sockets that can be turned on independently.
It's not stained glass.
The frame of the lampshade appears to be brass and the inside is acrylic perhaps?

Antique Questions Forum / Wall clock

« on: April 25, 2025, 09:29:13 AM »

I'm guessing this Syroco clock is from the 40's or 50's.
Here is what I found out...
Syroco, short for the Syracuse Ornamental Company, was an American manufacturing company based in Syracuse, New York.
Known for its molded wood-pulp interior decorations, gift items, and later plastic products, Syroco was founded in 1890 by Adolph Holstein and operated for over a century.
The company was a popular source of decorative items, particularly in the late Victorian and mid-century modern periods, and is still sought after by collectors today.

I'm not sure.
I'll have to have somebody flip it over to see.
I never thought about that.

Anybody know anything about this?
I don't even know how old it is exactly.
60+ years at least.

Just for show.
I already have the 411 on this.
 

Spartan radio receiver, circa 1930.
Model 931
39.5"H x 13"D x 24"H

Antique Questions Forum / Humidor

« on: November 16, 2024, 02:30:06 PM »

I have a small humidor that was probably my grandfather's cousin's.
I'm thinking 1940s-ish.
It is 27"H x 14"W x 11.5"D
The bottom cabinet is copper lined.
Any thoughts?
I'd love to keep it, but if it's worth something...

Antique Questions Forum / ornate vase

« on: May 13, 2024, 11:12:52 AM »

Hello friends.
I have this vase that is probably from the 40's or 50's.
I didn't post a "bottoms up" because that are no markings whatsoever.
It is 12"high and 6.5" wide.
I'm hoping somebody can give me an approximate value on this.
Thanks!!!

No markings at all.
I wasn't clear.
It was found in their house when they bought it in 1939.
We have no idea who carved it or when.

« on: February 23, 2024, 12:43:45 PM »

This was found in my great-grandparents house in 1939.
It's close to 100 years old, I guess.
It's 36" long.
It has some kind of leaf design with a snake curling around it.
No idea if a price could be put on it.
Whatever anybody is willing to pay, I suppose.

« on: May 27, 2023, 01:12:03 PM »

I don't know anything about Wedgwood to guess the mark says on the back.
I'm assuming it's a style number or something.
It measures 11" x 9" with about a half inch depression in the center.
