    I found this lamp yesterday at a local thrift store & thought I'd found a hidden treasure! But a image search turned up nothing + looking at the inside from the bottom (sorry I forgot to take a photo of it) it looks shiny & new.
    Is this home made/hand made? Is it worth the $69 price tag?
    PS - I didn't buy it but if it's a good buy I'll go back today.
    Thank you!

    More than likely, it's missing a glass shade. I would not buy at that price.

    Or any price. The casting is awful. Thats 80's deco or I'll eat my hat. Thats some crazy prices at that thrift. But I guess folks pay it.

    I've never had good luck at thrift shops. Either waste gas or overpay. I know it's possible to do well, but I guess I just don't have the patience.

    Nice find. That glass shade really does a lot for it (brings it all together) I really like it now. But I suppose a replacement shade will be very difficult to find.

    Didn't state what the selling price was. The cheapest I found a shade was $165. You would probably be hard pressed to get your money back.

    I didn't buy it because it looked too new + no glass shade
