These sound like "Tiffany-style" lamps. If they are real tiffany they would be marked with the Tiffany Studios mark. There are other makers from the late 19th century and early 20th that are also very valuable. I hope yours are worth $100k. Beware of taking them to an antique dealer. If they are valuable, they will give you a figure high enough to make you want to sell them, but FAR below their actual value.

definatly e-bay, you could probably even find a member or two who sells antiques and ask them some questions and send them a picture, most members are very helpful. You could even find a yahoo group where people talk about antiques and get some help there. Best of luck to you.

Just get a book on the subject at your local library or Barnes & Noble.

I'm no expert, but I would try looking on eBay for similar lamps and see what they are selling for there.

Usually you cant get something for nothing so it may be well worth it to go ahead and pay ! Good luck.
