Set of Mid-20th Century Charga-Plates Including John Wanamaker Example

Category
General Antiques and Collectibles
Condition
Excellent
Description

Description:
I’m submitting several original Charga-Plates for appraisal, including one from the iconicJohn Wanamaker Department Store with its original red leather case. Most are in good condition, showing typical signs of age with minor surface wear but clear embossing and intact structure. These appear to be mid-20th-century pieces, possibly from the 1940s–1950s, and were likely issued to store customers as early credit identification.

Of particular interest is the Wanamaker Charga-Plate, which has historical relevance given the brand’s presence in Philadelphia and New York. The remaining plates also include variations in design and issue location, and I’m curious whether any are considered rare or carry added value based on their merchant origin.

I’d appreciate insights on:
- Estimated current market value
- Rarity and collectibility
- Historical context

Let me know if close-up photos will help

Antique Hanging Lamp

Category
Lamps and Chandeliers
Condition
Good
Description

Antique or collectible hanging lamp. Found in antique/collectible shop in Maryland in the 90s. I was told it was from an estate sale. I never knew any history on it. I am wondering if anyone knows what type of lamp this is and the era it is from and possible value. It is approximately 3' in length and at top possibly 12 inches across, not sure, as it is in storage at this time.
