i bought this antique lava lamp from an antique store. its one of the originals. dated 1973. Im not sure the last time it ran, but when i turned it on 3 hours… nothing… the wax was melted but it stayed at the bottom. it wont rise. ive heard tricks that you can turn on the lamp turn it off let it cool turn it on again do the same thing… thats the only trick that i can think of that would work… otherwise putting the glass in a pot of nearly boiling water… ive heard that one too which trick should i use? or is my lamp screwed? thanks to ever who replys

This lamp is about 2 1/2 feet tall, and is ornate bronzy gold with a large green glass well/bulb towards the bottom. Our home has a worldly/warm feel, with alot of browns/reds/blacks. What shape of shade is best for this? I was going to make my own using either a fabric i choose or an antiqued map, but don’t know if that’ll look too busy considering the detailed lamp base. Suggestions??

I have an old lamps with a suede like shade and right below the light bulb it has two arms going out that has tassels hanging from them, then it comes down to a big glass ball type bottom. It looks as if it is italian but m not sure and have no way to get a picture posted online so i am trying to find someone to help me locate it and find where it comes from but there are many lamps on the internet and too hard to locate. There is no names on it the sticker or label is no longer on it. I bought it at an auction and am so curious about it. Can someone please help me????/

I have a antique mini lamp that I left the batteries in for a few months and just recently found it with blue battery acid in side it. Will baking soda and water paste with a old toothbrush trick remove it?
thanks
