I curious to see how much this lamp will go for.

Does the base seem touch up to you?

The whole thing looks a little too good to me !!  Especially if it is 1930`s which I doubt !!

Looks to me like someone had an old trophy, maybe horticultural, attached that shallow well and then married it with the moulded fruit. Painted it.

Looks like the paint is coming away between that well and the main body.

Went back and looked at the thumbnails !! Its ok I guess although not sure and they didn`t say if it was marked anywhere !!

Not sure what this is about but your link shows up here !! Scroll down to find it !! Bunch of other similar type lamps ect !!

I was just interested. A while back someone posted a lamp that was similar, but more exspensive. I just felt it didn't look right on the base.

Did you look at the link above ?? Some from Czechoslovakia and way lower prices !! Some higher too but just glanced at a few !!

Yes, my first thought are those other people nuts for not researching before spending that kind of money.

Those are imported listings from ebay !! None I saw have bids !! If I were to buy one at all, there was one for $55. that was a metal bowl shaped base with the fruit on top !! That one might be good !!

but thats what people do....not everyone has a pc....and anyway....most will be impulse buys..with no time to research...even if they were inclined to do so in the first instance.......i,ve done it myself....bought something on a buy it now,thinking ...yes,this is cheap....only to find it cheaper on the next page,.....then i,d kick myself and utter a couple of obscenities...which i will refrain from repeating....for fear that ..they might mean something else on your side of the watter.....

Bigwull,

I'm just the opposite. I've done without my whole life and can talk myself outta buying anything! Spending money on myself, or on something I merely "want", is not in my nature.

I have a lot of "things" lets call them, lol. So if I buy something it better be special.

my downfall is Toys...and the fact that my long suffering Avril never complains....This model cost me in excess,of $3000..it was over 5ft long and weighed 80kg, and was full radio controlled.but it was at a time when i was earning big money,and could afford it....at one point i,had nigh on $30,000 worth in my garage....
