I have a picture's of the lamp's and I also have the patton number's so I was hoping it would make it easier to get an appraisal that way.I have no idea how to do this sort of thing and this is the first time since they were handed down to me that I've reached out to anyone.The lamps are definitely metal of some sort.They are black in color and they have what appears to be,silver and gold,inlayed Oriental designs etched into the front of the lamps.They do have,what appears to be,some kind of signature on the complete opposite side of the design in an Oriental language so I have no idea what it say's?The lightswitch itself is completely brown with the exception of the switch that you use to turn it off and on.The switch is the kind that you slide through from one side to the other and one side is red while the other side is white.The patton number and other number's are also written on the under side of the light switch.Both lamp's work and are also in perfect condition.Here's the number's on the switch:MDK and then a funky design that I can't make out.Then it's 250V6A then another funky design,but it's different than the first on.Then you have 7-1756 Pat.No.397072.
