Amongst the rusty hubcaps and greasy parts was a guy with lots of breweriana. And amongst the breweriana was this hula lamp. He said everything he was selling had been in his late fathers basement for many years. Anyway...the lamp. Doing a search here and on google shows many different styles and materials. It is in working condition, there is only one switch with 4 positions for controlling the hips and light. The right hip has lost the little copper cam that attaches to the skirt, but I’m in the HVAC field, so I can easily fabricate a repair. The shade has some water staining and some creasing. Can anyone here tell me about it? it’s age, manufacturer, is the shade correct, etc. Thanks
