chubby-cheeked boy and girl holding 2 black figures (pets?). Metal base but the rest of lamp is porcelain. Perhaps German-made.
These were in my mother's bedroom in the 1930s. They have been rewired.

I am a bit confused. I thought an actual dollar value would be estimated for this item.
I'm so sorry, Jill, it was an oversight on my part. NOW you're all set
