Fantasia Fiber Optic Lamp - Which One Is This One?

I have not been able to find the name of this lamp made by Fantasia. Can anyone give me an idea? (image borrowed from mildred's antiques).

Reason I ask is I found one for $75 bux in Phoenix while searching Craigslist last week. Found out the lady was unable to pack and ship or drop off. However I did not want to let this guy get away. This is a lamp you rarely see. So I called a UPS store and they arranged to pick it up, pack it and ship it. I sent the money Western Union Friday to the nice lady that was selling it. Got a call this morning that it was packed and ready to ship out, I just had to pay the bill.

I was figuring at most $100 bux for shipping. Plus the $20 for picking the item up and whatever the cost to pack, maybe $40 bux. Boy was I WAY OFF. Lol. $303 bux later, the lamp is on it's way to me now. I hope it makes it without incident. It sounds like they did one hell of a job packing it from what I hear. Breakdown goes $180 for shipping, $20 for pickup, $90 for packing plus anything else I missed. Package is insured for $500 so I do get my money back if anything happens. I again, hope not.

So all in all $375 for lamp is not bad from what I figured. But the story does not end there. The same day I nearly fainted from the news of a $300 dollar shipping charge, I find out that a past person I helped with a computer problem took it upon themselves to send me 3, $100 dollar bills. So, I look at it as a lamp for $75 bux! WOOHOO!

I am stoked either way. The lamp from what I saw in the pictures and from the UPS store is in excellent condition. Can't wait to see it in person.
