Hi. I haven’t posted here in a long time and found a Florence Art yesterday and was curious of their over all worth. I’d normally keep something like this but Christmas time is here and finances can always use a boost. I know these are from the 1960s and aren’t common but not too rare. Any thoughts or input is appreciated... Continue

Tornado and Spiral lams

Started by Harry Jacoby in Collecting. Last reply by JBR yesterday. 8 Replies 0 Likes

Does anyone here remember Tornado lamps and Spiral lamps? Tornado lamps were either cylinder shaped or in a rocket (called the rocket tornado). and consisted of small beads that would go when you turned it on and a propeller caused the beads to go in a vortex. Spiral lamps were bullet shaped and had larger pearl shaped beads that were propelled up a pump then went down a spiral path. They were both made in the 90s/early 2000s by a Chinese/Taiwanese company called Kenart and were imported by…Continue

Fastest way to get Astro/Astro Baby flowing US

Started by i0nz in Problems & Questions. Last reply by i0nz on Friday. 8 Replies 0 Likes

I just received the two Mathmos lamps below and I'd like to get them flowing today. I live in Salt Lake City, UT and was curious if anybody knew of a store which would likely have the necessary converter needed? I've searched a bit online but I'm not seeing anything available nearby and it appears that the soonest I could receive the $30 converter off of Amazon would be Monday. All of the bases have 3 prong plugs.Any tips or pointers are greatly appreciated. …Continue

I know I could buy a step up voltage converter but I would much rather just change the bulb to work with 110. Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks!Continue

WTB century base

Hi fellow lava heads!Been lurking here for a while as I built my collection up, but finally needed to post as I'm looking for a part. I recently picked up a slightly pre-90's (I think) century off of craigslist. It's in good shape overall, and looks good from the outside. But the base, specifically the bottom plate that's steel, is rusted badly. It doesn't effect the function of the lamp, for now, but it might eventually given that the bulb mounts to the rusted plate and might fail at some…Continue
