Even in today's age of e-commerce, luckily not everything can be bought, there are some things that are one-of-a-kind originals: The only original puffer-in-glass float lamp I have ever seen hangs at Oceanic Arts (as mentioned in above linked thread).

The other ones that are out there, including the one at Smuggler's Cove, have been painstakingly handmade by some of the talented and dedicated members here, INSPIRED by the O.A. lamp. The process has been discussed here before, in a thread other than the above, it might have been this one:

The one I have that is pictured in above link is
from the Kahiki.
And I would guess it is original.
I would say the way to tell if they are original is
the size of the fish inside.
If it looks like you could just slide it in there I would
say that is a new one.
If on the other hand you go wow how did they get that in there!
That's an old one "original".
That is the one light I don't want to sell.

Skip, thank you for further Kahiki enlightenment, I somehow missed that puppy when there!

And good god yes, Ron is the MAN!
