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.

That lamp looks great. Congrats on a great find.
Thanks guys.

So does anyone know the name of the lamp in the picture above?
Would make sense. I have searched high and low and there is hardly any info out there on this lamp. Makes it hard to identify.

Thanks for the info!
No idea which model this is, but it uses a Centurion or larger center, and is absolutely massive. You will adore this lamp! Visitors will be wowed.
