Rain lamps, in the above order. Glossary:
Creators = Creators' Lamp Co. Made both metal and plastic lamps in approx. 8 sizes. Later a division of Lava-Simplex.
Johnson Ind. = Johnson Industries, the first rain lamp manufacturer. Made only metal lamps, in countless sizes, diameters and finish/decoration variants.

Cheapo:
1- Medium size plastic Creators, white/gold table with Diana.
2- (Probably) Johnson, standard antique-brass, swag with Venus variant.
3- Medium size Creators, early metal version of this size, white/gold table with Diana.
4- Small 80s-90s inport model, matte gold plastic, swag. Figure is unique to these lamps. Sometimes the statue revolves - this one may not.
5- Medium size plastic Creators, antique-bronze swag with Diana.
6- Medium size plastic Creators, antique-white/gold table with Diana.
7- Large size plastic (may be metal) Creators, antique-white/gold, table with Venus.

Mid-priced:
1- Medium size plastic Creators, white/gold swag with Diana.
2- Mid-size Johnson, standard antique-brass, swag with Venus. Sold through Sears. Yes, this probably sold new for $120 or so. No, I don't advise paying $80 for it unless you REALLY like this particular model.

Different:
1- Large size Creators plastic, antique-bronze swag wirth Old Country Mill - mill wheel turns as oil flows over it. Excellent price! A great variant on the "naked Greek lady" Diama, Venus, etc.
2- Same lamp in medium size. BIN $55? If you want a rain lamp as a showpiece, and don't mind the fact that they're dust magnets, this is a great buy!
3- Large size as #1, but in lighter bronze finish. Another good buy.

This one not so cheap:
1- Medium size plastic Creators, swag but can't tell finish - believed to be bronze or antique-bronze. Model has revolving dancing couple, model name is "Dancing in the Rain". $150 is high, but... it IS in great shape! If you love this model...

Parts:
1- Part of a Johnson mid-size lamp. If you can scrub it all clean and want to build a rain lamp into a cabinet of sorts, this is a great start! If anyone on here buys this and wants help fixing it up, email me and I'll give you some tips!

Great post Jen!! I love rain lamps, despite their inherent messiness.
