budweiser dome lamps...been in the family for 40 years...granddad got them from a local bar
This is a difficult one to determine worth for.
You have a pair of large vintage bar advertising pendant lights.
They appeal to Bar Memorabilia collectors (especially if you can provide the provenance and history of the bar they came from! That adds to the value!), vintage kiche collectors, and Budweiser collectors.
Unfortunately, this type of market is quite volatile, it's high one day and low the next. I have seen similar lights sell for as low as $50 each to as high as $150 each. It really just depends on who is looking for them "today".
You seem to indicate that you are keeping them, so I would insure them for the higher end, just to be safe.
