That is really... Interesting!
Shawn,
I walked by it twice debating each time if I wanted to get it, the third time I got tired of the debate and bought it. I replaced the cord and the bulb socket today also, she is almost new again.
Wow There's no debating that one! Really nice lamp !!
I have the same lamp, I could never decide what kind of birds they are? Sea Gulls, Eagles, ? I had the same pause when I bought mine. Had to come back 3 or 4 times, I think the Deco lines finally won me over.
They look more like sea gulls to me they are probably non-descript birds. The deco lines won me over also.
I absolutely love this lamp.... is the glass vaseline..??
Marcus,
The glass is clear the bulb is blue, but it looks green in the pictures.

Marc,
