Long Description
 I have a lighted display that was in my grandfather's pharmacy in Denver, Colorado in the early 1900's.  It says Richard Hudnut and Deauville.  It is mostly ornate glass and metal. I have been unable to locate and similar item anywhere.  I was wondering if you know of any collector who might be interested?  Also I would like to know it's value.
History
It was a display that was in my grandfather's Pharmacy in the early 1900's in Denver, Colorado for displaying Richard Hudnut products. I think it was given to him by the distributor, and never taken back. My mother used it to display her collection of miniature perfume bottles.
For Sale?
No
Re: Richard Hudnut Deauvillle Commercial Display
This is a very unique item and assigning a value is going to be difficult as there is little to no records to go on. With that said, Richard Hudnut was a perfume manufacturer so it makes perfect sense your grandmother used it in the way she did.

As Fishwacker says, this piece is rare enough that there in not much information available or in auction records to determine a market value. I have seen another Richard Hudnut lamp, but not matching yours that sold at auction for $625.00
Re: Richard Hudnut Deauvillle Commercial Display
Hey, I have a lamp like that. Yours is the only other one I've been able to find. We got ours from my wife's 95 year old grandfathers house when he passed away 2 years ago. When he was younger his family owned a country store in southwest Alabama. I figured it came from the store when they closed it 33 years ago.
 I Would post pictures but i don't know if that's possible in the comment section.
