Garbage picked a mid century lamp and ashtray

[NJ Marty]

Just got these 2 items on the curb down the street. Lamp looks great, it has a metal shade maybe out of bronze but I doubt copper. Any Ideas on the lamp as if its mid century or after? Ill be happy with $20 on these since they were free.

It reminds me of a table lamp my mother bought around 1972, especially, the plastic decorative buttons on the shade were identical.

Just checked and thought they were glass so it could very well be 70's. You think it has any value or I should have left it on the curb? Gonna be a pain to box up and ship.

Personally, I never liked my mothers taste in decorating, but it was in style then. With my bias, I would think it would be a hard sale to make and I would try to sell it at a yard sale or flea market. IMO, I don't think it would come back into style anytime soon.

In some dealer's shop or mall booth, there would be a $40 to $60 price tag on those!

Good find!

Hey there. I really liked that pierced work lamp when I first saw it. Good score, I would think.
I just happened to be on ebay and saw this lamp. It's not exact, but the pieced shade work, could possibly command a few bucks.

The pierced shade lamp is an awesome score, Well over a hundred if not two IMO. The other lamp is not far behind if not the same price realized. I would drive across 6 lanes of traffic If I saw those!
