History
The lamp was purchased at a flea market in Chicago in the mid 1960's for about $6.00 by my Aunt. She was a antique collector. She did not know what she had until she returned home with the lamp and my Uncle cleaned it up and inspected it. An appraisal was done in the mid 1970's and the value was set at about $3000.00 at that time.

You really need to get somebody to physically appraise this piece, any Tiffany lamp is quite valuable, lamps with the #1411 shade often sell for over $10,000.00 at auction. I haven't seen one with this base though.
