I got my first and only Lava lite from the Annapolis goodwill when I was about 14. I was so excited. They had written the price on the glass in grease pencil- $12. They didn’t have plugs to try electrical items then, and $12 was a lot of money for me to possibly pay for a broken lava lamp. Possibly the worst thing I’ve ever done- I rubbed that tens place out and was thrilled to take home my $2 lava lamp. It worked great for years and years.

These are the stories that make these items much more valuable! I love it!

This would be an groovy addition to my bedroom. It would look perfect sitting in front of the window dressed with Clairmont Beauti-Vue blinds!!!
Paul says
I would surely put this cool (warm actually!) Lava Lamp in the family room of our 1965 ranch, complete with wood paneling, used brick fireplace accent wall with original sconces and original aluminum sliding glass door!
Kay Goolsby says
I would love to win one of these lamps. I am so into retro mid-century modern right now that I look all the time to see what I can find out about different pieces.
Jennifer says
My daughters have been begging for a lava lamp! It would go in the living room so they could see it anytime
Michelle says
As one who grew up seeing all types of lamps, from the originals to copies, I would love to put mine in my bedroom and watch watch it as I drift off to sleep. I might have to fight my son for it. He loved to collect them while he was growing up.
Christian says
I will put it in the Family room of our 1964 house
Randy says
Those lamps are iconic. I always wanted one since I was a kid. That would look great in my den. Thank you Lava Lite LLC.
Lauressa Nelson says
An Authentic lava lamp would look really groovy on top of our authentic 1950s RCA Victrola stereo cabinet!

My niece is off to college next fall-I think this would be great for her dorm room!
