I've never seen one of those. Love it. Just when we all think you couldn't get better you pull something like this off. Amazing.

If that is the original lamp shade I'm certain Kirk can do a lot better!

You know me, It has to be original.

I cant believe someone bid up the one that had the lamp removed. that is just silly.

Morzh, don't avoid the discussion. Sorry Kirk, if that was an original lamp shade, well, I guess ugly is just fine! I know you like original.
Best, Jerry
