Values for carriage lamps depends a great deal on their condition and if they still have their burners. Most of them date from the mid to late 1800's, many originals were converted to electricity for use as exterior doorway lighting post 1920 or so. "In the rough" pairs often go for about $150.00 at auction.
the smaller of the 2 lamps is actually a candle lamp , the bigger one is the carriage lamp and it does have what appears to be the orginal burner in it, I only found one of each. would you happen to know approx, years of these items or possibly send me in the right direction to research more on them. the web seems kinda vauge on how to identify makers and such as I cannot find any markings on either.
