Isn't it weird how streaky thrifting can be? I had a run of lamps in October through December but have not seen a decent lamp since. Here are three lamps that I picked up in late December.
Like Jaques Cousteau, I'm swimming and exploring the oceans of vintage modern.

Hometown SCORES! (part the second). Status: sorry for the delay
Any-who, This part of the haul may not have the cachet of Brasilia or Goodform but they are some nice, solid, good looking pieces.
Like this spectacular lamp/ table combo. This sucker is almost monumental in size; it is a little over five feet tall and that mottled orange, onion shaped base piece is three and a half feet in circumference. When I found it at the junk furniture store, the wood was filthy, dry and badly sun faded. I cleaned the wood with some murphy's oil soap then I got out the .0000 steel wool and Howard's Restore-a-finish, which really evened out the sun faded portions, a day latter I gave it an application of Howard's Feed-n-Wax so that it almost GLOWS with health! All I need to do is rewire it.
