Oozing Goo - The Lava Lamp Syndicate

When I say brand new, I mean brand new.  This one was new, never used and sealed in the box.  Even the box is in excellent condition.  So far the flow isn't that impressive, but we'll give it a few more runs and see how it does.  It is dated 2002 so I don't know if this would be a USA or China globe.  I like the colors.

See my photo album here:

No photos or video of the flow yet, not much to see anyway.  It is very lazy so far.  I'll post up more later when it gets into shape a little better.

If it is 2002, I am 99% sure it is USA. Lava Lite switched to China in 2003 as far as i know.

I believe Kempton is correct with the timeline.  Some 2003 lamps might be USA as well, not sure though. Nice score Rich , you do have a landline to plug it into, right?

No land line? No problem. It looks cool anyways.

What a fun Lava Lamp!!! For what it's worth, in your 4th photo, the scanner code label indicates "Made in China".

You have a US made globe. All the globes with the white LavaLite cap were made in Chicago.

The "made in China" label I believe is referring to the phone/base itself which itself is labeled as being made in China.  This was not solely or directly a Lava product apparently.  Good to know about the cap indicating where the globe was made.

I DO still have a landline!  I plugged it in, it does work though in dim light it is hard to read the buttons and given their interesting layout can be hard to tell what you are dialing.

The flow improved as it got warmer.  It was still kind of lazy even though the globe was getting really hot.  I suspect it will improve as it cycles.  The liquid is slightly cloudy and I hope that clears up too with some cycling.  This thing weighs a ton!

Glad you like it.  I LOVE MY GALACTIC ICON!
