Steam Punk Lamp

Fellow CAV member here as well, 1CD, 1st Aircav, 2Batt. C. Co. MEDEVAC. Thanks for your service, and love the lamps.My town was having a Salute to the Armed Forces and they asked me as a Veteran to come and display my Steam Punk stuff for the event. It was on the beach and very cool. There was also about 50 vintage cars there as well as bands etc.
That's the first time I wore my Dog Tags in almost 50 years. I am surprised I found them

Now that I am moving soon, I need to sell all these lamps so I put some of them on Etsy. I will list the rest of them as soon as I get time as it is a little of a pain to list them there as you need to weigh them, fill out a big form and describe the thing. I do want to keep 2 of the fish though. I can't part with this porcupine fish and I will be building more of them a little different soon I hope.
Now I see this thread after I commented about that fish...Very nice work!
I don't know if you do this just for yaself but there is a lot of money to be made in Steam punk vaporizers ...Just look them up...you can buy all the guts and even digital controllers ...you just make the casing ...Just a thought

This is the gallery I am bringing the pieces to tomorrow. They want me to bring all the pieces in. They have 3 galleries in Midtown Manhattan, Sarasota Florida and Stockbridge Mass.

All my Steampunk pieces sold today to an art gallery in Manhattan except for two fish that I wanted to keep for myself. I am very happy that I don't have to move them to my new home and I can start building new ones as now I have an outlet and the gallery will take whatever I make. A couple of pieces almost sold as I was bringing them into the gallery as two people wanted them even before they priced them so I am happier than my wildest dreams. Well, maybe not my wildest dreams as that would need a flounder, bowling pin, left rear tire from a 1957 Studebaker and a piece of meat loaf from Lady GaGa's dress.
Here is my wife with one of my pieces on the counter in the Gallery. She is my spokesmodel.

Grats! BAsed on the fact that they have a lot of pieces that have time to be photographed and put up on a website to sit for a while, I'm guesssing your stuff is a goldmine, and rightly so.
Hoping you got a good price, especially as its in the city.
Also, now that you sold out in 24 hours, and I'm seeing pieces on the site that have been there for a bit, make sure you get paid properly.
HAte to see you sell pieces to them for a few hundred only to find out they're selling for a few thousand.
You're on percentage I hope (and, if so, I hope its a lot more percentage than the gallery)?

I am working on 3 projects at once, which is a mistake. I have two lamps and a SteamPunk Airship that I am kind of excited about because I never built one before.
That phone box with the brass bells will be a lamp. I ordered the ear piece and when you lift the ear piece, the light will come on. The crank on the right will dim it. I have not decided what to do with the other vintage box yet.
