60s Centuries

These are both the low-wax version. Orange/yellow and green/yellow. The orange/yellow's base is repainted, so for now, it sits on this one. Both have the two-part bases with the cylinder inside. The green/yellow cleared up, too! Weird flow though. Need to try a different bulb. Also, yellow/orange is hard to photograph, but this is one clear lamp!

Comment by Erin on October 28, 2011 at 10:26am: I didn't do anything special to clear them. The yellow/orange was clear, the green/yellow was like this when I pulled it out of storage: http://oozinggoo.ning.com/photo/green-yellow-century-what-happened?.... It was clear, got super cloudy and then cleared up on its own from running it a few times. The very first models of Lava Lite lamps in the 60s had a lower-than-you-see-now wax level in the 52 oz. Century models. It's very noticeable when you compare two globes side-by-side.

Comment by Mr MaGoo on October 28, 2011 at 10:15am: Pardon my newbness, but what is the difference between a "low wax" version and a regular lamp. Thanks again in advance.
