I found one of these lamps in a trendy curio shop 24 years ago. It had two things going for it Art Deco and the Empire State Building, both of which I adore as a collecter. Not being terribly rich at the time, I gulped at the $75 price then and am astonished at its $239 retail value now! Turns out to have been a great investment after all.
Constantly lit for years, it sits high atop my TV and Hi-Fi center. Flanked by two antique microphones, it acts as my "beacon of entertainment".
I periodically alternate between yellow, red or green bulbs for a change of pace.
It never fails to elicit a curious comment from guests.
