He picked it up by the cord and I guess the wire nuts broke free and the bubble hit the ground and shattered. <br />I thought he was kidding when he told me. For the next year I kept expecting it to turn up on my birthday or Christmas or something. No dice. It was dead.

The tag on it was $10.00. I picked it up to turn it over and ALL the globe light covers fell off and 3 of them shattered all around me! Yikes! I didn't notice they were missing the screws that kept them on... I was told not to worry, they weren't going to make me buy it...hopefully I wasn't hurt... I wasn't and I went ahead and bought it anyway...so I still have 5 globe covers and the light fixture turned out to be full of rusty water...Noel might have thrown it away...I'll have to ask him. I just checked it's still in his studio. Anyway, it was good not to piss the thrift gods off because I also bought some books there that day. I paid 50 cents for a copy of...get ready for it..."Instrumental Insemination of Honey Bee Queens" self-published in 1978 with a plastic GBC binding...and sold it for $129.95! And one other book for 10.95. Altogether that day I spent 15.50 at that shop. That was a good day...<br />Crystal in Texashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01023656563886635049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6668802457367853649.post-71993069682245571732012-09-18T11:40:55.842-05:002012-09-18T11:40:55.842-05:00Well, I like you.

Mine was a two light tension lamp with plastic cylinders and twisted brass arms. In transporting home to fix the brass arm from drooping, managed to knock one of the very fragile plastic shades of a bench and shatter! I will likely never be able to find a replacement and will have to repurposein some other fashion.
