      Does the other one's mark show differently alientrouble, I can see Collection on the left above the fleur di les, but can't make out the rest! I really like the lamps, very nice find! :^)

      they are wonderful! the marks show the same on each. A USA company..?

      Carder for Steuben Glass used a fleur di les on his designs, maybe this is an honorary collection made by Corning Glass, or something like that. Just a thought! :^)

      Ok then I found this link:

      http://www.deseretnews.com/article/700092247/Treasures-A-family-affair-in-bronze-and-spelter.html

      I just saw this, it describes the same mark, so next I'll try to find your lamps! :^)

      I found this from a Kovels site:

      Q: I have a lamp with a pillow base that has a cast-bronze cat sitting on it. The cat’s tail forms the lamp’s stem. On the pillow is a medallion that has a fleur-de-lis inside a square and the words “Collection Francaise, Made in U.S.A.”
      I bought the lamp at an auction. A man has now offered me double what I paid. Should I sell?
      A: Your lamp isn’t bronze. It’s made of spelter, a zinc alloy less valuable than bronze. It’s also called “French Bronze.”
      In 1907 J.B. Hirsch, a Romanian metal-smith, started the New York Metal Art Bronze Works in Manhattan to import pieces from French foundries. After World War I, he traveled to Paris, bought the company’s molds and opened J.B. Hirsch, his own casting foundry, in the United States.
      During the 1930s, J.B. Hirsch made figural “French Bronze” lamps. From 1948 to 1963, Hirsch and his son Abraham reassembled hundreds of original bronze molds hidden during World War II. J.B. Hirsch is still in business in New Jersey as a division of Richmond Lighting.
      Your lamp probably was made in the 1960s or 1970s and is worth about $200. Now you can decide whether to sell the lamp
