Title: Fenton Hobnail Milk Glass electric lamp
Post by: marymike on September 09, 2011, 01:27:30 AM

I have just unwrapped two fenton (I think they are Fenton) milk glass/hobnail electric lamps left to my husband by his mother (my husband is now deceased).  They are about 22" tall, white/clear hobnail bottom over brass base with a milk glass globe with flowers impressed in the glass.  I hope someone can help me identify these two lovely pieces.

Dear All - regarding the lamps I inherited from my mother-in-law I discovered the bases are fenton, the globes are an unknown manufacturer and the lamps were made using vases of Fenton hobnail opalescent glass.  The website I consulted was Replacements.com - they do not know how to estimate a value since they were made by a local lamp company and not a recognized manufacturer.  Any idea who I might consult to get a value - I am happy to pay for an appraisal.  Just wondering if I should insure them and for how much.
