NOS Blue/White Silver Century

[Brad]

if you're an avid eBayer, NOS should really get your blood pumping, or at least your ebay trigger finger clicking.

maybe some of you saw this on ebay a week or so ago, but i ended up winning a new in box silver century with a blue/white globe.  i've never won a NOS lava lamp auction before, so i figured i would post some pics of what a century looked like when it came out of the box, new.

when i opened the box, the cardboard was very stiff when it bent, so i knew it had to be new.  the base was still in a plastic wrapper, and it appeared that the box containing the globe was opened maybe once just to verify its contents.  

i'll let the photos explain the rest, but i figured i would post this in case someone else wondered what a century looked like when it was brand new, only 18 years later.  i assume this is a 1995 lamp, which means that i was in 9th grade when this lamp was released.

i have a 32 oz.blue/white globe that was cream and turned white again after running it for quite some time.  i'm trying to do that with the one i posted earlier in this thread.  it's working somewhat, but still needs to be run much longer.

Problem is there's no way to really know if its going to be white or cream till getting it.  I have the same color set in a 32oz and that one's more cream colored than white too, but it is whiter than the century is.
