What a haul! I used to have that big heavy shell/tapa one, hung from a tree by my front porch. When the fumigators tented the house they broke the branch and it crashed! Arrrrgh... The Orchids catalogue doesn't give them any names, just letters and numbers. I had a Sea and Jungle lamp brochure once (dissappeared!?), they were really creative with their designs, one can see a few good ones at The Alibi in Portland... I love lamps too, they are hard to find but essential for the true Tiki lounge. I have about 14 from various places like Kelbo's, The Tikis, O.A., and individual finds. Last one was from Orchids, I found it with Duke Carter in Chicago. Took it as handluggage on the plane, had to fight for keeping it because it was against regulations.
