Anyone know any thing about Antiques?
I have this lamp. I’m not sure when its from I think the 1920-1960’s somewhere around in there...
It is some kind of cigar cutter/holder lamp and It has 3 attachments. One of them looks like a cigar cutter? and the other two i'm not sure about..
I was wondering if anyone knew what it might be worth? Or How could I go about finding out what its worth?
I’ve tried looking on google but I can’t seem to find anything like it. Maybe I’m not using the right keywords? But any help would be appreciated.
A picture of the lamp is below.

i estimate it somewhere in the 1950's, but i don't know a lot about it, i just know my grandmother has bought something similar in that period.
the fake candles looks like they are in bakelite. But it also could already be a more modern kind of plastic.
I'm not sure anymore if there is white bakelite and if there is when it was first produced. Bakelite itself started to get popular around 1920.
So the estimation you made is the best i can come up with too.
And i completly not know what it would be worth, that depends on how many there where made of and from wich company it came. You should ask an antique dealer in your neighbourhood (if there is one, otherwise ask it at an antique forum on the internet ;) )
