Fantasia Ads/Literature - Where To Find?

Does anyone know where I would go to find Fantasia ads and/or literature showing all their lamps? I would like originals, however a hi-res scan of them would work as well. I would like to have them for my lamp collection. Figured it seemed only fitting :)

Thanks for any info!

I saw that site and read over it. A very nice site and I was wondering who did it. Now I know :) Are you going to keep it going or no?

The information is pretty straight forward for the most part, however there are a few things that are a bit hazy. Is Vicon officially gone? As in, the company that used to make Fantasia products will never again make them? Has the company been bought up, or just completely gone forever? I am reading they still make products for other industries, but not consumer products such as the Fantasia line.

I can tell that the items I have are heavy duty, quality items. The gears are solid brass, no plastic junk. Everything was done with real metal parts. Other than the bulbs burning out, I see these things lasting a very long time to come.

If you need any pictures, let me know. I will be happy to take some.

Wow. There is a bunch more that I was unaware of! That is a really nice piece of literature (barring the blemishes). Man, I envy the person that has these.

The Celestial model is similar to the Crestworth Galaxy. Not sure who made which first.

Wow, so there will never again be a Fantasia product. Sad. Such excellent quality and stunning items for the time.

Yeah, if you need anything let me know. I am going to upload some videos as soon as I figure out how to rotate them the right way.

This would be great to collect the literature on thses lamps. I love collecting literature on things that interest me as well as the product itself. I have many thousands of brochures and auto literature for example. I would love to collect literature on lamps from the 60's and 70's. I do have some 90's mathmos stuff. Advertising from the 70's is my favourite especially for electrical products like 70's hi-fi's and televisions. How cool ?
