I would be interested in finding out the value and history of this lamp. The age also.
I know that the lamp is labeled Gone With the Wind, other than that I know little to nothing about this lamp.

the globe appears to be a match to that of Consolidated Glass as referenced here: http://clicksnipwow.com/chataboutdg/img4297.search.htm
These were usually called parlor lamps; the term GWTW is a fairly recent term for this style of lamp.
I am no expert but, I believe it's a 1940 Gone with the Wind Parlor Lamp, Lion Head. I had seen them selling on Ebay for as little as $29.00 to $99.00. If that is any help.
Thank you for your response. The most important thing for me is to try to date the lamp. It does have the lion head. I bought this at an antique store and not really for the value, I paid 160$ for the lamp which may be a little steep. I just feel in love with it and had to have it!
You are welcome. Last time I was on, I forgot to hit the love button. I can see how you fell in love with it. I would have bought it too. Like the saying goes: "Things are only worth, what someone is willing to pay". (or something like that).
I don't think you did bad at all, it is a beautiful lamp.
Not sure if this post is active, but wanted to say I have the exact match to this lamp. It was left by my grandmother. She called it a parlor lamp. If you have found anymore info about it, please post it. Thanks
Hello!
My Mom had this lamp, it has disappeared with her passing. I am looking to replace it. Is any one interested in selling theirs to me?
cme907, ebay look up lion head parlor lamp or GWTW lamp.
Thank you Celiene
Relatives received an identical lamp in 1956 for a 50th anniversary present from their neighbors...it was purchased new at that time from a large gift ware store that had wedding and anniversary presents, china, and crystal. These lamps are very functional and very beautifully made. They usually have a small bulb or night light in the bottom globe, and a 3 way key type switch.
