Hello all sorry if I’m coming into this thread kind of late, we have been collecting all kinds of vintage resin swag lamps for years.
Sven may remember, but wasn’t there a guide (for the resin lights) floating around 10-12 (?) years ago? I think Dug first showed it to me and I had some Japanese customers show up with one but haven’t seen it since. Does anyone here have a copy, it was a B+W type deal not very professionally produced, but there were some manufactures names, a picture of the lamp, etc… It really fueled my interest in finding more pieces.

I suspect most of the lamps (pictured) were professionally made because the home made jobs really stick out.

First off as you see they were popular enough an item to buy at Sears also you’ll see some of the designs (from earlier in the thread) in question.

A few of ours below, sorry for the poor quality I just shot them quickly otherwise I would never have gotten around to posting.

First is the ultra cool space age shape obviously professionally made.

Next home made crazy, you can’t see but it has huge bubbles and all kinds of
shapes floating in the panels.

Next the three on top are manufactured (it would have been something to see them spin the liquid resin on the back lamps) the bottom is someone’s project.

Thanks for looking,

My very best alohas,

Bosko
