If ANYONE sees this lamp, please get it for me..

[Good Buddy]

Howdy all.

The lamp prominently featured in this video by The White Stripes is one of the coolest lamps I've yet seen.
If anyone sees it at a reasonable price in good condition, please e-mail me at.... michael@thethriftshopper.com and I'll arrange payment and shipping.
p.s. Hotel Yorba is a pretty great song too.

The downside is that you can't really tell what color it is because of the weird white balance in the film/video.  You'd think it could be green, but then again, it could be gold.

I'll keep my eyes peeled.  Of course, if I do find it, you'll have to come out and pick it up.

I've seen those before.  The ones I saw were make of a smoke grey color glass, and had a light in the base.

I forgot to mention when I talked to you on the phone today, but when I was shopping yesterday a local thrift had a similar lamp (not the exact one) with teak accents, but they wanted over $100 for it.  I liked it, but I'll wait till they lower the price on it.

Cool lamp.  I don't see too many lamps I like at thrifts, but lately I have found a few good ones.  I found this set of teak lamps at the Salvation Army that is good again (new mangement- what a difference!) for ten bucks.

I also found this art deco Aladdin lamp at the food bank thrift for seven dollars.  The base lights up too.

I appreciate anyone who can look at a video or a movie and then become obsessed with... a lamp.

I was recently watching episodes of Northern Exposure and became all excited when I remembered all the awesomely gaudy early 1900s fringed lamps of Maurice's.

PS I think I've seen Valley's yellow-green lamp at the thrifts before. Not any quite like the one you're looking for, though, Good Buddy.

TSR,

How the heckola are you!?
Please e-mail me and let me know how things are..

Yeah that lamp is so "me" it's pathetic!

[Thrift Shop Romantic]

Hey! I'm doing okay. Been ages since I've had time to visit here-- I'll shoot you an email.


(And you KNOW I will be keeping my eyes peeled for that lamp. Since I'm already Lamp Obsessed anyway. This gives me a legitimate excuse, if it's for someone else!

[Big Daddy Audio]

Nice to see you are alive and well, Romantic me girl. 

I was gone for a while myself.  The folks here, though, are so cool and mellow; and the stuff that makes me crazy is just never brought up, which makes all this moth-ball-smelling stuff seem like a breath of fresh air.

Glad to see you back.

[valleythriftshopper]

Nice to see you back TSR!  I haven't seen any lamps like in the White Stripes video, but I did get a pretty cool pair of MCM lamps last Thursday at the Sal Army.  I paid $26.00, which is alot for me.  One needs a repair on the cord, but considering their large size I figured I would regret it if I did not get them. 

[Good Buddy]

Those are cool.

[Thrift Shop Romantic]

Cool and potentially a good weapon, too.

Valley and BigDaddy- Nice to see you both! I didn't actually not visit here because of anything going on here-- I enjoy the place and the folks. I just had a lot going on outside of thrifting so I had to focus a bit.

[Jay2TheRescue]

Hey Valley, I once found a lamp exactly like those.  I paired it with a funky brown velor shade that was  a patchwork of several brown velor fabrics.  I found in a thrift shop for $1.  Everyone took notice of the lamp whenever anyone visited.  My roommate's uncle commented how much he loved it every time he visited.  Eventually, we just gave it to him.

[valleythriftshopper]

These lamps had shades on them at the store, but they were ugly and did not compliment the lamps, so I left them behind.  That was nice of you, Jay, to give your lamp away, I have been looking for a nice large lamp to pair up with my Lane end table and Danish modern chairs.  When I get the whole thing set up I will post a pic.

And yes TSR I guess they are handy to have around in case of an intruder!

[Big Daddy Audio]

Those are REALLY COOL lamps.  I sometimes look at lamps, but out here, there's nothing anywhere near as cool as those.

Re-wiring a lamp is not a difficult process.

FWIW
