Army Officers desk WW2?

Ceiling lamp Late 1800s maybe?

Table lamp same era?


Then there is the 1840ish Birge Mallory clock. But I can't locate the picture file right now.
Also a WW1 soldiers New Testament, and a WW2. But we will keep those.

If you got any helpful ideas on the lamps and desk.....

Are you trying to sell it? Sure seems like it.

ebay, SIGforum Classifieds, but not the Lounge.

Sorry. Should have said
Just asking for help with descriptions.
Maybe someone here knows about things like these.

The table lamp is often called a “Gone with the Wind” style lamp. Both lamps could go in a local auction. Sometimes they bring good money, sometimes you are just finding them a new home.

Facebook marketplace, should be able to move them fairly easy...

As hard as it might be (mentally and logistically), those might be good things to pass down to a grandchild when he or she is of age to appreciate and keep.

When we were on vacation recently we went through a small town museum that used elements like that in its displays. They had a 1880-90(?) house (4 room cabin) that you could walk through. They also had WW1, WW2, and Vietnam displays.

Another museum, a maritime museum, had an entire 1950s summer beach house and a beach ice cream, soda stand, and general store (all in one) with period furnishings.

You might check around your area for someone like that.

There are plenty of folks that will pay good money for pretty much anything that has vintage value. Do your research on value and sell what you don’t want.

The little missus would have come home with all three of your items from Goodwill and promptly sold them for a big profit on Marketplace, EBay, or in one of her two antique mall booths.

Exactly. There’s a market for that stuff. You just need to find the right buyer and personally I’d keep the desk. I love the lamps, and if they’re Tiffany they’ll fetch a pretty penny, but I think the desk has more historical value to you personally. One of your ancestors sat at it and worked. Not that the lamps didn’t shed light on your family.
Google lens might be your friend here, if you’re looking for pricing or descriptions. And I’m betting that there is someone in your family that would want any or all of those items.

I spent time off and on in the last year going through many things my father has collected, and those three items you posted would’ve been kept by us kids.
ETA: my father is also an antique pocket watch/clock collector, and I will say that if you’ve got all the original parts to that clock and it runs, why not keep it? From what we’re seeing, clocks are not holding their value, so I would keep the timepiece and hand it down to the next young family member that starts their own home! I think that would be an awesome housewarming present.

Unless it's collectible and worth something, or there's a local demand for it, those types of things are tough to get anything of real value for.

I've helped older family members deal with some things like that and just old items, even if they seem special, are hard to find homes for. I've found that even listing some things on local Freecycle sites, no one wants them.

Best to know what you have, but even then, it can be tough and time-consuming research.

I am in the same boat. I have moved back into the home I grew up in after Mom passed.
My sister and I have debated what to do with a lot of the Knick knack stuff hanging around. Some of it we have memories of, but most is just “things Mom had”.
Everyone says “put it online”. So far, neither of us has felt any of it is in the way enough to bother with that.
I’m still cleaning up some of Dad’s old projects. He was into B Model Mack trucks and two cylinder John Deere tractors.
I’d like to save my kids the hassle of wading through all this AND my stuff.

Facebook Marketplace. I sell all my stuff there. Buy quite a bit of used stuff too.

If you have enough stuff, contact an estate sale company, they'll take everything including knick knacks tractors, cars, and do an estate sales and take the remaining with them.
