I have heard and read a lot of anecdotal evidence that antique prices have plummeted. One appraiser said he is appraising more antiques than ever in the past ten years for people selling for financial reasons. He also stated that the value of the antiques he is appraising is down considerably. Does anyone know how this is affecting the victorian fairy lamp market? I can only judge by ebay and ...

If so, would you be willing to bid on a fairy lamp for someone else? Some of our members are somewhat reluctant to make an absentee bid because they are unconfortable not knowing the condition or completness of the lamp. They would be more confortable making bid if someone with a bit of "expertise" was inspecting the lamp. If you are interested in bidding for someone else, post a reply here and anyone interested will contact ...

It is particularly useful because the website contains so much information. It is very useful for finding information on a particular patent, article, company, etc. In addition, since the Newsletter Index is online, it is very easy to find which newsletter contains a specific article. Test it for me and let me know how it works ...

It stands about 1/2 inch high (now) and was 40 inches in diameter (before being gathered into a pile). I hope that no one else needs suffer as I have. As I was working around some of my lamps when I caught this one with my elbow, and you can see the outcome. On the bright side, all of your pyramid-size Burmese domes just got a little more rare. This lamp is available for loan if you want to play a nasty trick on someone next April Fools ...

There are of couse many examples of a single candle stick using a pegged candle dish, but I have not seen a multi-arm candelabra using these. I would love to hear comments on this.

Hi everyone, I thought I would provide you an update on the plans for a joint Fairy Lamp Club meeting with the Night Light Club. No plans have been finalized yet but Bob Culver has asked for our thoughts on specific events. The proposed meeting is scheduled to coincide with a lamp auction by Roan Auction in Pennsylvania on September 4-5. The proposal is to open the meeting on the evening of Thursday, September 4th, attend the Roan ...

There is a segment at a museum house about FAIRY LAMPS. They actually light an old 'burglars horror' candle and put it in an old lamp. It was part 2 of 3 from, I believe, Spokane.

It is 6 1/2" point to point, roughly 2" tall, approximately 3" across the "bowl" where a base would sit. A regular fairy lamp base fits in pretty good with just a little wiggle room. Do you think this is a base to a fairy lamp? Any help would be appreciated.

The holes are typically 3/8" in diameter but, the size is not important. If you have any, would you please send me photos. I just need the photos, I do not wish to buy it. Below is generally what I am looking for but with embossing to identify it as a Clarke lamp cup. Jim.
