Vintage Skin Lamp
Several years ago I found this item in an antique shop in Indiana, I love strange old items that tell a story, well unfortunately this item sat in various places and even stored away in my home and the story was never told.
I started doing a little research on "Skin lamps" and quite honestly I'm not real sure what to make of this one. It does resemble a Moroccan style of lamps but no where on the internet did I find one of this framing nor painting style and truly the only resemblance was that it was a triangular shape hanging light.
Then the real mystery began, I started looking closer at the skin that this was made of and my investigation was inconclusive.
I researched Camel and llama some but it was hard to rule out or in favor without a specimen at hand. Then I ran across a story (that I will link below) that really set me back in my chair and had me pondering "what if?", thats when I decided it was best to just get rid of it before I knew exactly what it was made of.
Thats all I know, I am not implying nor do I conclusively know what the material is on this lamp, other than it is a type of skin.
LAMP DETAILS:
Lamp is 4 sided with apparent stars and flowers hand-painted. The overall condition is worn. The lamp stands approx 23" tall. The metal framing has magnetic response but appears to be a copper or brass color beneath the tarnish and rust.
Heres the link to a story about a man that discovers the unthinkable about his lamp...I do not endorse anything about this story or the artifact involved, I am merely a collector and seller of unique, rare and collectible items. I am not now nor will I ever imply that know definately what this lamp is made of.

Set of 3 Vintage Coke, Coca-Cola Bottles
An American Icon is the best way to describe the Coca Cola (aka Coke) companies, so we have a set of 3 Hobbleskirt bottles for sell as a set. These bottles date from around 1955-1960. Each bottle is from a different bottling company and marked on bottom. They still have Coca Cola inside! That in and of its self is a rare find. Most of the product over time is drank, leaks out or is not stored in a cool enough location to prevent evaporation.
While it might be a good double dog dare, we do not suggest consumption of this product.
Enid, OK

Ft Worth TX
The bottles show typical crate wear, the caps have faded and some of the Coca Cola stampings are still visible. The bottles are 7 1/2" tall. We are selling all 3 as a set.
