Description

I purchased these oil lamps at an estate sale recently and was wondering if they are antique or repro.

The burners are marked "JOHN SCOTT  MADE IN ENGLAND"

The red satin glass is original (according tot he seller) and is in excellent condition with no damage, just some roughness around the rim edges.

The cranberry shade is a FENTON replacement (according to the seller) and is in pristine condition

The lamp bases measure 11" to the fitter and the fitter is 7". There are no dents or scratches on the lamp bases.

The tallest chimney measures 14" and the other is 12"

Internet research revealed a company named "THE JOHN SCOTT LAMP CO" that made reproductions of antique railroad lamps and memorabilia.

Are they real or repro?

What are they worth?
