And unlike some of us (namely me) he doesn't keep the extras. They get de-accessioned.
I'm used to seeing cylinder-shaped shades about the same diameter as the lamp.
The orange ones are 1980s plastic for sure. Where they came from I haven't a clue. The earrings are more 1950 than 1980. Possibly closer to...
Saw a jewelry lot in there currently going for a whole dollar. Thought about it, but this auction is in the Boston area and you can be it's going...
When I find it, it's in the Pas Israel (spelling approximate) dairy case. It's sort of a drier ricotta for those wondering. Today in the...
