Thank you! Just gotta keep your eyes open. And be keen on the pursuit!
The guy who was selling the lamp took almost a week to get back to me. I thought it was already sold and that's why there was no response. I mean - why wouldn't anyone try to grab such a cool lamp? Ultimately it worked out somehow.
Today I took my Mom to the dermatologist to have a wound checked from some skin cancer she had removed. In her neighborhood on the way to her house I noticed some people cleaning things out. Yesterday I think they had a garage sale. This morning I saw some framed art work curbside along with some other smaller items. I kept going to Mom's and then an hour later on the way back it was still there......along with two 5 tiered shelf units....the $65 apiece ones they sell at HD.
(sound of Volvo brakes...)
I was going to stop anyway and grab the art work but now there were these two shelf units....major score!
I chatted with the couple cleaning stuff out (they had a small dumpster on the drive filled with stuff too) and this was their parent's house. It got flooded and they are selling it now after moving their parents into an apartment in Port Orange. We actually had a pretty decent conversation while I was breaking down the shelves and putting them in the Volvo. Nice folks helping their Mom and Pop out. And happy to see anything go to a good home.
I also gabbed a US flag, 8 cup measuring cup, and a pair of headphones.
Here's what the shelves look like:
