Toppers would be a great idea to fill a need because tops often get<br></br>
lost and sometimes broken. You can change the nature of a lamp just by<br></br>
putting a topper on it to replace the standard cap. A dragon cap can<br></br>
change the look of a silver streak base. They can provide individuality<br></br>
to a lava lamp. They could make them for various size bases. Even a<br></br>

third party company that doesn't make lava lamps could make toppers<br/>
which can be used with various brands. Right now they are too rare and<br/>
too expensive for many people to benefit.<br/>
<br/>
They can provide a wide selection as most people would pay 6 or 7<br/>
dollars for a topper if there were one that fit their interest. There<br/>
are so many possibilities to choose from: dinosaur, spider, football,<br/>
space ship, white tiger, boat, witch, dragon, wizard, lion, crocodile,<br/>
dog, cat, race car, turtle, shark, guitar, pizza, snake, flag, monkey,<br/>
plane, rocket. You can think of your own.<br/>

<p>The modern satin silver finish isn't original at all. The original UK Astro was polished copper; the original US version, which began without a name (but later became series 100, the Century) began in brushed copper, then transitioned to brushed brass. Black and silver finishes only hit the Century in the early 90s.</p>

<p>I would LOVE to see a turned wood base! With Lava Lites, satin gold IS retro, the majority of 1960s lamps in the US used it. Not all, of course - there were a minor few in other finishes like black, silver and, yes, even a few flocked lamps back then. How about the late-50s "squiggle" finish used on some early Aristocrats, for retro? Black or off-white enamel with thin gold squiggles, loops and wavy lines all over. Very common on late 50s lampshades. The first year or two of 'squiggle' Aristocrats (as well as the Decorator, with an empty planter tray the buyer could fill with whatever he liked) were white only, with all-gold caps, but later a black squiggle Aristocrat came in and caps were switched to match the bases.</p> You cant get much more vintag…tag:oozinggoo.ning.com,2011-03-09:1566398:Comment:1998242011-03-09T21:40:22.326ZTim Gillhttps://oozinggoo.ning.com/profile/TimGill
You cant get much more vintage then the astra - that was one of the first shapes produced<br/><br/>I think making it out of dark solid wood or doing some abstract graphics on the astra would be very cool - the brushed aluminium finish is getting boring and retro styles are in.

They could make something similiar, but yet different so that it is not the same. I think they did a good job with the new lantern back in 2006. It looks nice, similiar to the style used in the old ones, but has a look of its own and is not easily confusable with the earlier ones. Those who like the originals can wait until one shows up and pay the price. Those who like the style can buy similiar ones at cheaper prices and better availability. You could also by both.<br></br>
