 I do not have much info on this, I can not find a name or logo or anything telling me who made this lamp.  It does work perfectly, when you turn the knob on it the top will turn on, then just the bottom, then both.

Thank you!

Re: Lamp, no info on it and no names or logos.

Lamps like these are reproduction based on the well known "Gone with the Wind" style oil lamps. They are mass produced items, most post date World War Two. Values for them depend a great deal on how close the copy originals and the decoration of the shades. At auction they often sell for under $100.00.

 Thanks Lovejoy for the info!

Is there any type of marking or something that will verify it's a Repo so we can get a 100% that it's not worth more then $100?   As I'm now looking to sell it I dont want to undercut myself.

Thanks again!

Short answer, not really, the originals were Oil lamps, this one was electric from the get go, it's a repro.
