Tiki Finds - Collecting Tiki

They claimed these candle lamps were from Trader Vic's circa 1960's. They are in pretty dilapidated shape. They hold candles, and the inner tube is fiberglass. There is also a fiberglass interior for the lamp shades. They are burnt and cracked in places. My question is: Can anyone verify that these are authentic Trader Vic's lamps? And, if so, any idea of their value? Also, are they worth trying to restore? Or just finding new hardware and lamp shades? Thanks!!!
