Comment by Keith on July 3, 2013 at 11:26pm: It was born the year I turned 16, a good year!

Comment by Marley's Ghost on July 3, 2013 at 5:44pm: The years are "flying by." Oh well. Now I know this lamp's name is Kirk, it was born the year you graduated! :-)

Comment by Kirk on July 3, 2013 at 5:21pm: Ahh... 1979. A very good year - the year I graduated from high school! It doesn't seem that long ago, really...

Comment by Marley's Ghost on July 3, 2013 at 10:29am: I try to look for the best bargain, but end up in a bidding war, but when I hit my limit, I stop. Let em have it. This one is "not" the one on there now that has a BIN price of well over $100.00. My first three or four lamps were free, a friend gave them to me. One was a purple/yellow black base Wizard lava. I had no idea what it was, but loved it. It still has some of the best flow of any lamp I have. When I saw the Wizzies in glitter, I have to have them all. LOL

Comment by Keith on July 3, 2013 at 8:38am: I doubt if you overpaid, I always look for the best bargain, I think I only have 2 lamps that I paid more that $40 for and the most I have paid is $45. Most of my lamps have cost less than $10, except for the new ones.

Comment by Marley's Ghost on July 2, 2013 at 11:27pm: LOL, Keith, then I overspent a bit! But the screw cap comes off easily and is perfect, no cracks, dings or paint loss. It has one teeny pinhead ding on the base, but I can get that out. I had never seen a cap like this. I like em too, so I guess I'm old school. :-)

Comment by Keith on July 2, 2013 at 10:03pm: Ahh, I would love to have a few Carlisle lamps! I'm waiting to find my first one. I like these better than the Wizard series, probably because of the screw top (yeah, I'm old school) If I find one locally I might be tempted to spend more than normal, say $40.00 or so. lol
