Default Akron Lamp

OK I was given these pair of beautiful solid marble table lamps with carvings in the white and grey marble. On the bottom of the lamp is a sticker stating Akron Company. These lamps are electric. I know that Akron only made gas lamps. I don't know. They were given to me by a multi-millionaire in California. I had worked for her and when I was married she told me to go down to the basement of the Vacation home and pick anythings that I will need to start my new life. I took these and a few other things. I would
really like to know if there is anyone that could direct me to an appraiser that specializes in Akron Lamps. I would be glad to send pictures to anyone that could help me appraise these two lamps.
Thanks
Sundee

Default Diamond Iron dated Dec 22,1936

Hi Mountain Mama, I have the same iron you have it was my Mother's Moms and was wondering if anyone knows if these are worth anything. I have had this for years, if anyone can tell me any information I would appreciate it. I was born in Ohio and am just curious if anyone knows what they are worth and some info would be appreciated. Thanks, have a great Christmas everyone!
