<p>Going by various catalogs and known lamps, Imperials have been offered in at least eight fills: red/clear, orange/clear, orange/yellow, green/clear, green/blue, Champagne Mist... and a Glitterlite fill (gold liquid) exists, which may ir may not have been a custom order but is most assuredly genuine 1960s Glitterlite, not a modern refill.

<p>Going by various catalogs and known lamps, Imperials have been offered in at least eight fills: red/clear, orange/clear, orange/yellow, green/clear, green/blue, Champagne Mist... and a Glitterlite fill (gold liquid) exists, which may ir may not have been a custom order but is most assuredly genuine 1960s Glitterlite, not a modern refill. And yes, one catalog lists the Imperial as having white enameled metal parts.<br/><br/>Am I correct that the collector who purchased this had the nigh-impossible-to-solve problem of owning an Imperial base but no globe? If so, this is an unheard-of outcome, finding a globe for sale. I've been on OG since 1997, and in my opinion, this is the most incredible happening I've ever seen on this site. Period.<br/><br/>The lamps known to have been produced, but never yet seen, include the enameled Imperial, the "pineapple base" Continental (like the well-known version but with large round vents and a bulbous, textured, colored glass candle cup), the Menorah "Meditation Series" (one Cross model exists), a 52oz. with a UFO-like base speckled with ivy, shown in the same b/w letterhead drawing showing the only-one-known ceramic base 52oz., the Century with heat-monitoring base, and the first-run Century: copper base (satin or polished), one-piece without pinch seam, rotary switch on side, liquid-when-cold lava.</p> Hi Doc.

<p>Hi Doc.</p>
<p>A 1966 Lava brochure lists 3 colour combos: Orange/clear, green/clear, and red/clear. It's possible that other color combos may exist though.</p>
<p>Note the slight red color to the liquid in this globe. The liquid in my Imperial was a murky red color before I restored it. I personally think the red color is the result of a chemical degrading of the liquid over time.</p>

<p>Also, the brochure list the metal finish as white enamel. Interesting. Is there an enamel finish Imperial floating around out there?</p>
<p>I've been collecting for 20 years, and there are a few lamps I've still never seen. The enamel finished Imperial, and the one piece base early Century (as seen in very early promotional photos) are two of them.<br/> <br/> <cite>Dr. WHAT?! said:</cite></p>

<p>The globe is sold! It is getting picked up next weekend. Thank you for taking the time to view this post. I won't disclose the name of the person that is purchasing or the price.
