Good afternoon. I as gifted these lamps from my great grandpa and was hoping to get additional information about them. What I can tell is that they were inspected by Underwriters Laboratories, issue 41154, Light House Lamp & Shade Co. of Los Angeles CA. They are a beautiful wood and amber glass lamp, with the original shades on them. He took great care of these lamps and really loved them. Any help with the history or time period of these lamps would be great!
Light House Lamp & Shade Co was a Los Angeles based manufacturer and designer of lamps. Light House Lamp and Shade most certainly made lamps for Heifetz. The distinguishing difference between what Light House made for themselves and the lamps that their made for Heifetz is the shape of the base. Light House Lamps have circular or oval bases while Heifetz lamps have square or rectangular bases. And ALL Heifetz lamps are signed and no lamp will be sold by Marfa Lights and Lamps as a Heifetz lamp without its signature. The beauty and craftsmanship of Light House Lamps make them equals to any thing that Heifetz designed.

Trying to see what my lamp is and it's value
This was made in the early 1970's and a lot of them had a run to the early 1980's. My father used to find them in the 1990's usually in the back alleys. I remember seeing a lot of them in the early 90's at garage sales. This one was probably part of a set. A lot of them also came with chain hung lights from the ceiling. Most companies, over 95%, left no records at all about their businesses. Blondbleu you should know that this site does not give values by the people who collect. You are meant to go to the upper right side at top appraisal button !~
