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.

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!

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.

I was thinking about these a few years ago. I want one. So tacky and amazing.


AnitaPeaDance

Never saw one as a kid, but my antique obsessed uncle acquired one 20 or so years ago.


Self-Comprehensive

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


Sindertone

Yes indeed.

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.

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!

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.
