Amazing.
I found one.
I have a friend on my flickr account
that lives in Illinois
and collects lamps.
I have learned alot from him.
But....
I have decided that I am no longer going to
purchase lamps at thrift stores
because they are a pain in the
hiney to ship.
I made that decision last week.
And of course,
I found a valuable lamp
last week!!!
So I had to buy it!!!!!!
I have no self control.
I need to give myself a good talkin' to....
next week.
So, here is the current value.
And here is the lamp.
SIGHTLIGHT
Unusual faux leather texture metal shade and base
It's in pretty good shape.
And here are some other SIGHTLIGHT
lamps in a few styles
and colors.
I really like the one above and the
red one below.
Should I paint my lamp red?
(tee hee....I just heard a collective gasp)
Maybe someone would trade me.
; )
It moves back and forth with great ease on its long
brass thingy.
How the heck will I pack that unusually
shaped lamp?????
Can I find someone in Idaho who
collects them so I don't have to ship?
Hmmmm....
I have added it to my collection of valuable
pieces that I have found.
They sit together,
ready to be sold.
Other valuable items I have found:
Danish Modern 'Modeline' Lamp
(went for $525.00 on Ebay last year)
Deco Moon Pyrex Casserole
(depends....$50-$75)
Rare Anchor Hocking Glass Burner Cover (1920s)
(in the book it says $1000.00,
but mine doesn't have little flowers on it like
the pic in the book)
(doesn't really look like this, but it is
the closest I can get right now)
Vintage Orange Pucci Suit Jacket
(Ebay $150.00)
Eames fiberglass chair color 'Parchment'
(Can go for up to $400.00 depending on condition)
Saarinen Tulip Chair
(up to $300.00)
Bittossi Vase
($299.00 value in NY. In ID?
Who knows...)
And the first ever Betty Crocker Cook-off Cookbook
with linen cover valued at $100.00
(a very ugly cookbook and can't find a pic of it)
and there's a few more.
Ya, I'm getting out of the chair business
too.
Too bulky.
The pickin's are pretty slim in
rural Idaho.
I feel lucky I have found what I have found!
I think I will sell them all first so I don't break or damage them
or something.
; )
Oh,
check out my friend Steve's flickr stream set of lamps.
I have learned so much from him.
and drooooooool at his collection!
Meanwhile...
have a maaaaaahvelous Monday,
my little munchkins.
And know that I love you
more than you even realize.
; )
