Fenton lamp steal

[scott9050]

I have to give credit to my wife for this, she is a big Fenton collector. We went to a church thrift and were about to leave when my wife went to a side room we had not visited. A minute later she came out and grabbed me, in the room were two 1970's Gone With the Wind style Fenton custard lamps. The store only wanted $40 each and we grabbed both. The cheapest one online right now is $339 for one, we got the pair for 80. I will take some pics when I get home.

The shades in the back seat. We are starting a booth next weekend so this is good timing. We have 7 Fenton lamps, have no more than $100 in any one.

Found 2 Fenton custard compote and custard vase for $7 total. Compotes are worth about $30 each, the vase about $15.

You stole those!!! Fantastic find! I'm a Fenton junkie too!

I was lucky enough to tour the factory before it closed.

I love Fenton myself. Too bad most people can't appreciate it like they used to.

My favorite things are the early 1900's carnival glass.
