These were part of some signs I picked up at auction last year. I mainly bought them cause they were cheap and I thought I could make some money on them but when I plugged them in at the house, you know the rest.

I have a vintage lamp by Florsheim. Has a picture of headquarters on the shade with the dates 1852 - 1952. The base of the lamp has a loose woman's shoe form. It is a button up shoe. I would like to know value and see if I could sell. I don't know how many of these lamps are around. Belonged to my parents and they had it ever since I can remember. Plz advise how to sell to someone interested in this item.........
Well we don't sell items here on CW Ilene. You would have to list it on ebay or one of the other auction sites. As to the value, I have no idea.
Thanks scandinavian_pieces!
