I recently bought this lamp at an auction, My best research shows possibly a" Gone With The Wind" style lamp?? I know the double globe amber glass is cool, and the ornate base. Is this just a cool lamp or does it have value? It works great also! Thanks so much!!
Sorry about the orientation of the pic… I dont understand why sometimes this site will not let me change the orientation… aggravating!!

Start with lanterns and lamps dot com. Also, look on the lamp for a makers mark and search that name. It looks to me like a 1960s -70s (maybe 80s)lamp, in the style of GWTW lamps. There a re all sorts of web sites about amber/glass/table/retro etc lamps. Enjoy the hunt!

This is a 70's style lamp that copies the older gone with the wind type lamp.They came in amber, green, and tourquoise. As for value? maybe $50

I have to agree with MJ and Jan. I had several of these in my home in the 70's.

I agree, looks a lot like one my mom got in the mid to late 1960's.

I had three and they were pink frosted. I broke the top globes but still had the bases. I have not really looked for new globes for the tops but I may someday.

Looks exactly like one my mother had in the seventies. I think she got it from a savings stamps catalog. Turquoise? Don't recall ever seeing one in that color. That color must be difficult to find.

based on the color of the glass, I'd say it's from the 70's.

In 1960 my father bought this lamp for my mother. I now have it. I remember when she got it I was 10 yrs old 64 now.
