Lava Lites 50th anniversary?

<p>All I want from LL are American made and filled bottles. Even just clear/ whites, I'll dye them! I just want good flow! Their have been companies returning to USA manufacturing due to rising costs of Chinese manufacturing. Too much to ask? probably<img src="http://www.bkserv.net/images/Frown.gif"/></p>
<p>I can always hope though!</p>

I have the matching melamine ashtray with the Expo67 logo and writing.c1963 in it. Think I would rather the lamp though.

<p>Agreed. The logo was likely trademarked some time before the Expo.</p>
<p>As for a 50th Anniversary lamp, I'm not sure what to suggest, as long as it isn't a resin base/cap and/or a 'skin' that goes over a globe. It probably should be something both collectors and the public will want to buy.</p>

The lamp is from '67. The Expo. trademark date on the lamp throws people off though.<br />
In the earlier discussion I was brain - farting and had the wrong date in mind as I mindlessly typed away. It had been a long and frustrating week at work though.....forgiveness should be readily granted as my work week was that bad. LOL

<p>As far as I know, the Expo '67 lamp IS from 1967. The Expo continued until 1981 as "Man and his World," so there is a chance the lamp was later, but I'm not sure that Expo '67 souvenirs were made after the one-year fair; surplus was probably sold off after then, however. It can't have been sold at Expo '70, which was in Osaka, Japan and had no connection to Expo '67.</p>

<p>The management of The Blues Magoos, the first band to refer to themselves as "psychedelic," somehow managed to get Lava Corp. to allow them their own model-- the Psyche-De-Lite-- AND to sell it without the Lava name attached! How do we know it wasn't a knock-off? The Blues Magoos also, supposedly, toured with two "giant Psyche-De-Lites," one of which is pictured on the album cover: an Imperial!</p>
<p>The album cover is fascinating because it pictures band members holding two different conical lamps. The one a NY lava collector called the Apollo (since the similarly-shaped and colored Apollo capsule was part of the US's pavilion at Expo '67) is pictured, at lower right, with its black cap. Here, it's shown without any markings. Right foreground and background are two Blues Magoos Psyche-De-Lites, which are somewhat different from the so-called Apollo; they have a much longer base cone, the base is painted bright red to match the lava, and the cap is gold like a Consort. If you were a member of the Blues Magoos official fan club, a Psyche-De-Lite would cost you $9.95 with a coupon (claimed to be a $14.95 value). Though not sold as a Lava Lite, the ad mentions the red LAVA, the glowing red LAVA (emphasis theirs) but it also CAPITALIZES a lot of words to make them STAND OUT, so that's not necessarily definitive. No collector has, that we know of, found a Psyche-De-Lite, but three or four "Apollo" models are known. I believe Psyche-De-Lites must exist out there.</p> That's so confusing!
