Fabulous find!

I just love it when I come across something so unexpected and different!  Check out this unique table lamp.  Now usually the words table and lamp don't belong together in my vocabulary.  I get this vision of a dark wood table, a magazine rack on the bottom, brass lamp post coming up through the middle, with a horrible beige plastic lampshade sitting crooked at the top - possibly a hole burned in the back of it because of the always tilted shade. Don't forget the half-full ash tray on it. LOL! Oh, Lord - I just relived a piece of my childhood!  
This is NOT that.  Something from the 70s no doubt - but not THAT:






Pretty unique, huh?  The fact that my husband didn't pull me away from it says it's not all that bad.  Definitely different.   Not sure yet where this one is gonna go.  Maybe I'll keep it - for now.
