Here's one of those tag sale finds from a few years ago--a vintage Christmas lamp--that you wouldn't have looked at twice--until it was lit.
It is unmarked and according to the previous owner, from the 70's. Made of a strange kind of plastic--the base is hard but the plastic has a "styrene-ish" feel, the shade is a lighter weight with six panels, three of which have hand painted and deeply incised Santa Claus motifs on the inside. It comes alive when lit. If anyone has seen this before and can give us a clue as to the maker or country of origin, it would be appreciated. Click on the photos.
