    'If the cap fits'

    Here's one from a few years back and it still amuses me now!

    From about 10 years ago...Someone put old plastic flowers in a Century. I don't recall if there were any takers.

  • Keith

    Jerome, that lamp says "I'm lava and I'm ready to PARTY!", not

    Blob, with a clear globe and water, and nice looking flowers, that might not be so bad.  But they didn't even get rid of the old lava!

    In this one, a missing cap is replaced with a glass votive candle holder. (Ebay auction)

  • Kirk

    This was and still is a bad idea.  I think they'd have better luck selling it without the beaded cover!

  • Keith

    Blob, of all the things I have tried to replace missing caps I have found nothings works, least of all glass.  It is just too bulky.

    Kirk, I'm pretty sure that the beaded cover was a Lava Lite accessory.  

    Just checked and found this:

    and this:
