Re: Glass lamp with wood base and fruit bowl
This type of lamp has no real value. It looks to be from the 1960's or 70's. It's quite possible that this may have started out as a fruit bowl and stand, and was converted into a lamp. It's not uncommon to find lamps that started out as vases or other household decorative items.
However, if this was originally sold as a lamp, it was most likely a department store item that would not have been very expensive when it was new. Leviton is a manufacturer of lighting components, such as dimmer switches, sockets, etc.. thats why the name is on the socket. It has nothing to do with who made the lamp itself.
I would value this at about $20. Wish I had better news for you.
