Anyone know how much this Bradley & Hubbard candle lantern might be worth? I haven't been able to find anything like it on ebay. It's made of punctured sheet brass with colored round pieces of glass.

WOW, great lantern! It looks like it is from the Arts & Crafts era ( 1890-1920 ).
Most important thing.....DON'T POLISH IT! Collectors want the old original patina.
It is really a beauty...in the old days ( a year or more ago) it would easily fetch $100.00 or more, now it's hard to say..If it were mine to sell, I would'nt let it go for less than that, so I'd hold onto it for a while to see if things pick up.

Auctionguy, Will you be listing this any time soon?

Inot, thanks for the comment. I definitely won't be polishing it. Most Bradley & Hubbard stuff isn't selling for much on ebay right now and so I'm a little hesitant to list it. I don't like it myself, but it's unusual and I know collectors of Arts & Crafts era stuff would probably like it. I'm thinking about making it a fixed price listing for $200. Is that unreasonable?

Good news. I found a similar lantern with a $525 asking price.

I found it also at Kovels online and the 2001 price was $385. I'll probably list mine with a fixed price of $300.

Here's one almost identical to yours (pierced pattern is different).
Is your lantern is missing the top finial and hook? I can't tell from your pictures, how do you hang it?
ebay item: Bradley & Hubbard LG pierced Candle Lantern Item # 3230411301

Inot, there is not a finial and hook but I can't tell if there was one there to begin with.

why not try it first with regular auction, $300 starting bid? you can always relist with fixed price. JMHO here.
