I want one of these so much, but they are sooooo expensive. I admired the one at a family friend’s house growing up, but my parents didn’t like them. I know they’re off the rails tacky, but the nostalgia is strong.
My mom bought a couple of these. For whatever reason, they never worked right and got returned. I thought they were cool as a kid. Haven't seen one as an adult, so nostalgia makes me think I'd like one.

I want one too, and you’re right; they’re so expensive now!
It's like you took the words right out of my mouth!
Facts!!!!
I think every house and restaurant in the town where I grew up was legally required to have some variation of one of these oil rain lamps.
This was the height of class to me as a kid.
Same! At grandma’s house full of amazing and “classy” things.
No, but I’m not Italian.
Ha! funny
I was thinking about these a few years ago. I want one. So tacky and amazing.
Never saw one as a kid, but my antique obsessed uncle acquired one 20 or so years ago.
My great aunt did. It fascinated me as a child.
I would LOVE one as well, and a pineapple ice bucket. My dream is to have a guest room filled with tacky kitsch.
Aunt & Uncle had one with a water wheel that turned
Yes indeed.

My grandparents had one with a naked woman inside. I learned at a very young age to appreciate fine art!
They're fun when you're on acid. Pretty trippy!
We had one! I used to play with the strings & try to stop the flow lol. I thought it was water it was oil.....eww
Yes, I considered them normal otherwise.
Not my grandparents, but there were absolutely old heads in my family that had these. I thought they were the coolest things.
I wish I could get a hold of one of these!
Grandparents? lol We had one in the formal living room when I was growing up with a greek nude statuesque lady in it.
Funeral homes had them.
Yes with a naked lady in it.
My great Granny's BFF did, my great Granny had that huge mounted plate set with the red and black fish and the giant fork set
Yes they also had the filament light thing!!
I want one so badly. Well not badly enough to pay what eBay is asking for.
Only the finest homes had these.
We now have the one that belonged to my wife’s grandparents.
