My haul today... we need more shelves!

I'm curious about the lamps - they are plaster or chalkwear, and have a few chips I hope I can fix or at least paint to match - We were told they were from Hawaii originally, but not sure how old (have old school plugs). We got a pair - only one shown. They have the original double shades and are so beautifully obnoxious! Any info about the lamps?

We also scored a little ceramic bamboo lamp with a woven shade, seven mugs and a pair of Coco Joe Moai Bookends, Plus a carved wood wall tiki.

I had a pair of lamp bases just like those... sold them on ebay a few years back. It's debatable that those are the original shades but they fit the time period. mine did not have shades so I'm not sure what the original shades looked like. They lamp bases seem to have been mass produced but i don't know in what quantity. They may have even been made specifically by a local for a particular hotel or other tiki establishment back in the day which was not uncommon.

of course there's always the possibility that those lamps you have are indeed the ones I sold on ebay... I would need pics of the lamps without the lamp on using a flash so I can see the finish on these close up to know for sure.... and if they are, you might have the only pair of those on the planet cause' i haven't seen them again till now.....
