Here's a reprint from a July, 2003 Newsletter:

A few years ago at a local estate sale there was an old 40's style metal lamp that came up for bids. I am an avid collector of antiques and junktiques now, but at the time I was just getting started. No one seem that interested in the

lamp maybe because of the color (kinda rust colored) so I bid $5. Then someone

else bid and I bid again. I ended up getting the lamp for $12. It's the kind of lamp for use on a desk with an arm that comes out on the side. It has a ballister which holds a chimney style clear globe and a round metal shade that slips over that. It was much heavier than it looked as I carried it to my car.

Anyway, my husband asked why would I buy something that ugly. He started cleaning on it since it was fairly dirty and greasy and was taking it apart as he went. He yelled from the kitchen and said "come and look what I found in the ballister of this lamp". My heart raced as I was imagining all sorts of treasures as I raced to the kitchen. It was full of old wheat back pennies from the 30's and 40's. That was why it was so heavy. I guess the owner had put them in there to help balance the lamp because when we emptied it and put it back together it seemed to want to tip over fairly easy. We returned the pennies back to the lamp so it will be a fun discovery for the next person... Robin
