John (yes, I'm asking you specifically) did you not, at some point, post photos of a Sata-Lite box? I HAVE them, I'm just not certain if they were yours. The paperwork calls the lava "oil" and mentions the buyer can mix and match colors to spec: oil in red, orange, yellow or purple; liquid in red, blue, green or yellow. I've seen a number of base variants and three caps, all copper, and the glitter ones I've seen (I'm told "Sata-Glitterlite") were orange or amber liquid with tinsel-like shreds…

NO lava lamps were on the market in '64, as far as I know everrything began in '65 with the Astro.<br />
<br />
But don't mind John's comments - he's actually our resident expert. All I know about these lamps, besides what I see in eBay photos, I got from him. cheers for the advice guys.…tag:oozinggoo.ning.com,2008-03-27:1566398:Comment:305322008-03-27T23:31:00.209ZPurity!https://oozinggoo.ning.com/profile/Purity

John, we appreciate your information. You were, back in the day, the first Crestworth fan on OG, and the original expert. I defer to your knowledge.<br />
<br />
All I know about these is from John and from photos on eBay, but there seem to be three base styles and three cap styles. The bases are a cylinder with a conical bottom (as shown) an Astrobaby-like base, and a convex-curved upper cone with a concave or flared bottom cone. Caps are the style shown, a cone, and a flat-topped cylinder. There may be…

<br />
I believe, John, that you posted photos of a box and a brochure, as well as an old advert from a catalogue? I've seen one on eBay with purple lava - if that is authentic, then they were the first manufacturer to do purple lava, predating Lava-Simplex by decades! If it's true that these have liquid-when-cold lava, that might explain why most I've seen are cloudy. There are glitter ones, too, I believe.<br />
<br />
John... Any other details? Someone also posted photos of some restored ones, I'll try to find that shot; they certainly did look spiffy. jeez john, i think people do…tag:oozinggoo.ning.com,2008-03-27:1566398:Comment:304432008-03-27T11:14:16.272ZPurity!https://oozinggoo.ning.com/profile/Purity
