<p>Yes, Jonas - Thank you for the information. I havent looked at the orange yellow today but it was at 152.50, which isn't bad at all. To whomever gets these ( hopefully someone on this forum ), congrats! What an amazing find!</p>

<p>Background:</p>
<p>These are Lava Corp. "Empress" series 4100, produced from 1966 until maybe 1968 or 69. They were discontinued before the companion table lamp, which lasted until about 1970. I have seen four or five of these ever. The catalogs showed a stepped metal cap, but all previously-known examples had the later solid wood cap.</p>

<p>Background:</p>
<p>These are Lava Corp. "Empress" series 4100, produced from 1966 until maybe 1968 or 69. They were discontinued before the companion table lamp, which lasted until about 1970.

<p>Mine, put together in parts (restored by Bryin with a wood cap globe)</p>
<p>One or two sold a while back with bad orange lava (and wood caps) which fetched over $1000, I think.</p>
<p>And these two, which use a metal cap I suspect predates wood, non-stepped and with a raised center on top, previously seen only on the Consort-like Regency/Royal 4200.</p>
<p>These are in jaw-droppingly great condition, with flowing lava - one in orange/yellow, the other in even rarer green/blue. I expect these to go upwards of $800. To whoever gets these, treat them like gold. These are crown jewels of a collection, the perfect lamps for a mid-century home; Empresses flanking the fireplace, Consorts on the end tables, Continentals on the dining table, Imperial in the hall, Mediterraneans in the den, black squiggles in the rumpus room, Decorators in the bedrooms.</p>
<p>Some people would find a Colossus more fun. Some prefer the vintage vibe - and they may not want these solely for their rarity. They're a really elegant period design, and the flow will be excellent.</p> Thies things are insainly rar…tag:oozinggoo.ning.com,2013-03-07:1566398:Comment:4453402013-03-07T15:49:54.825ZTim Gillhttps://oozinggoo.ning.com/profile/TimGill
<p>Thies things are insainly rare, I am sure this will go for 900-1000 dollars, they easily fetch 700-800 even if damaged.</p>
<p>The thing is though although they are rare and everything I would personally go for a bigger and dare I say it better looking lamp. Getting this is more of a status of I have a really rare lamp then i have a less rare but BIG lamp.</p>
<p>I know what I would go for....</p>
