Re: Vintage Reproduction John Scott Cherub Duplex Burner Oil...
Thank you for the information on the lamp and company! I am selling the lamp as it doesn't fit into my decor. If you know anyone who might be interested, let me know!
Re: Vintage Reproduction John Scott Cherub Duplex Burner Oil...
Your very welcome. I am not personally looking to buy a piece like this. I would recommend posting it in the classifieds on this website. Other online free marketplaces like facebook marketplace, kijiji, craigslist would be good places to post it as well. The problem with pieces like this you have just mentioned (It doesn't fit with my decor). The benefit you have now is that you have gained the information, that will add to its sale by valuation and research. Warmest Regards TJG
