Re: Hedco Lamp
You have a very nice looking lamp. Can you tell if it was made this way or is a modified oil lamp? About that time the lamps of this style were being made electrically too. If it's a modified oil lamp, unfortunately that will reduce the value significantly - unless the modifications can be undone (i.e. no holes drilled). Assuming it was drilled or damaged then you are probably looking at a value of about $90 +/- in working order. This is mostly for 'parts' price.
If it is an original electrical version the value will be about $120 +/-
They are very pretty but not in high demand right now.
Also check for signatures and marks. There are some artists and manufacturers that command a higher price.
