    Default Old lamp (miniature street lamp)

    I found an old Lamp (in its box) only clue I have is that it says Venezia on it.

    Im trying to find out what it was used for and how much it would be worth.

    DSC00665..jpg oh and it works.

    I absolutely love miniatures, JP, and have a small collection of all sorts of things. This looks like it could become one of them so I am also interested to hear what others have to say about it.

    Thanks Geewhizz this one must be from around the 50s or 60s wonder if those ones are new or also ancient

    post a picture of the box as it is easier to tell the age from a box .I think it may be modern but that may be because it has been in a box--The electrics look too new or rather modern

    Still hard to tell but the twisted wiring looks like 40's 50's but did we have globes like that in the 50's era.

    Ok my guess would also be 40s or 50s as it belonged to my mom.
