Here is my latest tiki lights, well two of them.

Mostly rehabs of old cool lights.

The first one needed cleaning and rewire.
This light can also be a St Patrick's day light too with a quick hat change.
Going to do this with all my lights now.

The second one came with no shade, thought I could find one on TC as there is a lot of shade here.
But found this awesome cork shade at the good ol thrift store.

It is so paper thin, the light shines through the spots where there is no cork, so cool.

I still need to find a few plate coral shells for the Mushrooms on the base.
I have seen one of these lamps with a HUGE coral shell as the lamp shade.
They can get very dirty and this one did not look good.

The second lamp is from the Mushroom lamp co
in Ohio.

AND it had one of those touch the base and the light goes on switches, this had a date of 1987 on it, man what fun I had back then in my 69" T- Bird.
