It was my Grandmother Fuzzy's.
Uh, she was a piano teacher, uh, in Southern California.
And, uh, I learned my piano with this, uh, lantern on my face all the time, and, and... APPRAISER: Okay, when did she get it?
GUEST: She did a lot of shopping in the '30s.
So I assume it's that old.
APPRAISER: Philip Handel started a company in Meriden, Connecticut in the late 19th century and then subsequently moved to New York City.
This was always an electric lamp.
So it was early 20th century, and I no-I notice here you've had it re-wired, or someone had it re-wired?
GUEST: Yeah, she probably did, yeah.
APPRAISER: Well, that's good, because electrical fires are very bad for everybody's, sort of, well-being.
GUEST: (chuckles) APPRAISER: But you have a beautiful little lamp, that was retailed as a piano or organ lamp.
Great classical form, beautiful quality.
You have slag glass here that's a panel.
This is not a leaded panel, but it's just metal over slag glass.
I think a good insurance value would be about $5,500.
GUEST: Oh!
You're kidding!
APPRAISER: No, it's a great little lamp and-and I'm glad you enjoy it.
GUEST: Wow, yeah, we use it in the house.
