Motion Lamps

Hey gooheads!

So was at my local thrift the other day and saw a few of these motion lamps, NIB with an asking price of $14.99.

I know the older cast iron/glass lamps can be somewhat valuable if the paining hasn't been completely scraped off.

I can't seem to find much on this brand, found an old Ebay listing for the Vintage Car style. This site seems to list a few of the styles and has SOLD OUT on the style seen at thrift (Sailing Ships $65.00) Wondering if it is even close to worth $15. I know a site can say whatever price they want for value, anyone own or have seen one of these in action? Is it worth my $15?

Yes, I've seen them and used to have one of the car lamps. They work quite well when in good condition. Just make sure that none of the plastic parts are melted or warped from the use of an incorrect bulb (specifically the spinner inside). The ship lamps are harder to find. I'd say it's worth $15 if you like those types of lamps. I think they're pretty cool.
