L.C. Smith Lamp - Page 2

THE LAMP TURNED INTO A VASE!
I looked at the pictures the guy sent me just now and it's not a lamp, it's a vase. Very pretty setter on one side and company logo on the other. Sorta creamy milky white in color. The paperweights have the Hunter Arms logo on them as well. How does something like this sit in an antique store all that time! $100.00 for the three items shipped and insured to me. Is this a legitimate value? I had a letter from a guy awhile back where vases were discussed, but I deleted the mail and for the life of me cannot remember any prices that were quoted. Jerry

Jerry,
If this vase is legit, then it will be worth quite a bit more than your investment. Buy it quickly, before one of the brethren here picks it up and holds one of us Smittys hostage for ten times that amount on ebay! (No offense to the Brethren, of course!)

The vases are hot items. Let us know when you get it. This will be "the vase that Frank Finch doesn't own yet".

Yes Jerry buy them NOW!!! It is a good value if the vase has had no repairs. What gauge are the paper weights?

I've already paid for the vase and paperweights. I was hoping I hadn't made a mistake on them. Oddly enough, some very strange folks I haven't heard from for a long time have sent emails about the vase. I'm guessing the things aren't exactly easy to find? Jerry

I don't know about Hunter arms but Parker Bros. made quite an assortment of lamps and a myriad of other hardware items. I have several of their lamps, all different & all beautiful and very well made.

Best Regards, George
