I love this lamp! Picked it up last summer at a rummie for a $1. I use it and would never give it up! I love the Atomic age look of it. Thanks for looking.

Sweet lamp !!
Love the Atomic look lamp, I love all mid century, born in the 50's maybe why!
And your photo doesn't make you look like a snob, it's very intriguing to say the least, like a femme fatale from a mystery movie.
Thanks for comments hedge & antiquejunky. Im flattered!
Hey Vintagemad, do you keep all of the stuff you show as a collection, or do you buy sell? You collect like I do, just an eye for quality, and I love the unusual things. I'm pretty much just a seller anymore, Ebay addict! My seller name on Ebay is 7dtl7 if you want check out my junk for sale. Darrell
I keep many of the things I post here on CW, but I do sell on eBay as well. I used to just sell part time but when I lost my job in July I started selling full time. I just recently became a powerseller and a top rated seller. My user name is nastynikki80, if you wanted to checkout my stuff.
Thanks for the response; I will check you out. I've been doin it for about 8 years, the first 3 were when I had my co-op in Ga. and the last 5 it's been my only income. Well I still do pick up a side job from time to time for friends, kitchens & baths, and some rock & tile. But I would rather hunt treasure.
P.S. you E name is very easy to remember!
Hey NN, if you decide you want to bid on those chalkwares I will give you free shipping, so if you do don't pay until I adjust the invoice. I left the message here so Ebay won't see it. I am gonna send you some tips on my Ebay selling later; I do have a few you can follow easy and it works.
