Midnight Aristocrat Blue

Hi. I just bought a Midnight Aristocrat Blue off ebay. Can any of you goo heads tell me anything about it?

This one?  If so it's one of the best combinations Lava ever put out.  By that I mean the blue water/yellow wax combo from the mid 90's generally has about the best and most consistent flows of any of them.  Other than a Mathmos Astro that was gifted to me, the one of these that I have is my favorite lava lamp that I own.

That's the exact one...I paid $38 for it. Did I do good?

I think that's a pretty average going price right now.  For a good (great) flowing globe I think it is a great deal. 

But don't be upset, I got mine off of a craigslist sale for $15.00.

While I love the look of the Aristocrat bases, I don't care too much for them because they seem to be hotter and I have to dim them down farther than the Century bases.

Regardless, if you have not spent $10 on a dimmer it is a must have IMO.

Great bargain you got there :-)

Keith, you are right. This is a beautiful lamp.
