Does anyone know anything about Frederick Cooper lamps?

I have a lamp labeled Frederick Cooper Chicago, but I cannot find a picture of one like it anywhere online. I don't know if it's worth anything (some are very expensive) or if it's even real. I emailed the company and their representative has not responded. Just wondering if any of you knew anymore resources I could try. Thanks so much!

As you said, Frederick Cooper is still in business and you can contact them and ask about vintage lamps. If they can't help you directly they may be able to direct you to a place where you can. https://frederickcooper.com/
Not sure if they ever replied to you.
Your best bet would be to find an educated, local appraiser.
There are also online appraisals, but they may not be as reliable.

I don't know much about these lamps but your best resource is the company. If they didn't respond, try another avenue with them such as a different phone number or email.
Otherwise, I'd suggest following Kim's advice above and finding a reputable appraiser. Calling a few antique stores might help you find one. And don't forget, if an appraiser offers you money for it, refuse; they don't have your best interests at heart and they are not reputable.
