Is it customary to leave the price tags attached to antiques?
I have a friend whose mom is into antiques and they all have the price tags on them. I figured it was just to be flashy….
0 for a dang "parlor lamp" from the 1800′s?!?

It was a single woman who was ready to move because she didn’t have any privacy on her backyard patio. They ended up putting a screen-wall in between her patio and the neighbors. This screen-wall was different because they built in a fireplace-look to it by putting a stained glass window above a mantle and then bought a fireplace front to put under the mantle. In the "faux" fireplace, I believe they put that wavy glass. On both sides of the "fireplace" they built the wall out but left open spaces in between the frame for her to hang outdoor lamps. They bought the fireplace front at an antique store I believe. It was a beautiful way to get privacy and yet have a unique look of a fireplace.
I live right beside two gay big black men and I can hear them going at it everynight. One of them is really feminine and I can hear him moaning and screaming while the other one gives it to him. I’ve tried turning on a fan/noise machine–nothing works! I can hear the headboard pounding the wall, the deafening screams. The final straw was last night when my dresser vibrated so bad that my Grandmothers antique lamp fell to the floor and shattered as they reached their climax! What should I do? I am scared to confront them face to face!
How many lumens do an ordinary lightbulb-flashlight have? (no led) And how many time the bateries last?
I know that led lamps provides much more lighting time and the bateries last much more, but could you give me examples comparind "relatively antique" flashlights and led lamps?
I need to know what an old piece is and what it was used for and approximately how old it is It’s an old glass piece with wires sticking out of the top. We thought it was lamp at first, but there are no cords on the bottom of it. The top is brass where the wires are sticking out, looks like the top part is missing. I do have a picture of it also, not sure how to add a picture on here. If you know a lot about antiques, please e-mail me at golferchic28@yahoo.com and I’ll send you a picture of it. Thanks!
I was in an antique shop and saw some free standing little lamps called "gen" something. They were free standing, not wall sconces.
Its been one of my favorite sites to search things but now it seems questionable.my friend was looking up antique lamp replacement parts the other day and porn started to download on her cpu.she couldnt cancel or stop it so she just shut the cpu off. i just went to look something up and IE opened up with something not even relevant to my search.could they have been hacked? i think i will use a different search engine for a while.
