    One is maybe a puetor metal with a B&H emblem on it and the other is glass. They have been in my family since I can remember. At least 55 plus. Wondering how old the actually are.

      The metal one is not pewter but more likely Zinc/ tin and is a B&H lamp dating circa 1890-1910. The other lamp has an eblings collar and has a purple tint common to lamps from the 1890's-1915 era. The tint is from Manganese being used in the glass manufacturing process in those days. RER
