This is from the 1970s when the early american look was all the rage.

It is a nice lamp, I love lamps.

If I had it in a shop I would price it at $65

I have been at this for over 25 years so most of it is just stuff buried in my brain.

Getting out to antique shows, these folks are usually more knowledgable than antique shop owners. Unless the shop is owned by a long time antique dealer but these are far and few between.

Read everything you can. I subscribe to Antiques Roadshow Insider and the Kovel's online newsletter and print publication. I also purchase old price guides as these tend to have more information than the new price guides. I also buy old antique magazines that are no longer in publication, I find these at garage sales.

You are no bother on here, this is what the forum is for. To learn and help others.

Thanks, I appreciate it. I've got a couple of older books from the 60's which sometimes is a a big help on identifying some of the older pieces.

Im gonna definitly check out Antiques Roadshow Insider and the Kovel's online newsletter and print publication.

Been going to garage sales and alot of the thrift shops weekly,actually have found some pretty cool pieces there and been keeping an eye out for any older/newer magazines/books, we've got a route we do which covers about a good 100-125 miles during the week hitting the thrift stores etc....

Thanks for the info atleast were semi on the right track !!!
Thank You.
