One can imagine a lamp or bit from the original Trader Vic's is going to have more "wow" factor and price bump than one from Fred's House of Chinese Grub. I don't think one can even give a reasonable range, as if you happened to love Fred's House of Chinese Grub when you were 10, you might just pay five times the price someone else would because that place was meaningful to you, if not to someone else.
