It's illuminating some electronics work I'm doing and that's hot glue.

Good. I thought so. But there are lots of houses with domestic water in steel pipes still, which is pretty awful for your health.

also makes you wonder, if that lamp is so valuable, why did they stop making them? none of that is made from rare gems or materials. its just a fucking lamp from the 1920s.

I'm sure they are so valuable BECAUSE they stopped making them. I've been to the Morse Museum in Winter Park, FL, and they have a bunch of stuff from the home of the Tiffany family, and show how the stained glass process is done.

yep, its a contrived value. sort of like how Debeers controls the amount of diamonds released into the world for fear of deflation of value. either way, its still just a fancy lamp that many companies made knockoffs of.I'm sure they are so valuable BECAUSE they stopped making them.

Yeah, I heard a radio commercial for a jewelry store, like International Diamond Center or something, and he says he has over 50k diamonds to choose from. Really puts things into perspective on rarity haha

This reminds me of this sophism : All that's rare is expensive. A cheap horse is rare. A cheap horse is therefore expensive.

Only cheap horses I've encountered are horses that people have abused and no one can really tame anymore.

Because people want nice even lighting, not a dingy old persons home because the coloured glass is dimming the light.
I think that lampshades in general are dated as lightbulbs are better quality now and don't burn out your retinas, all the lightning in my flat is exposed bulbs with the fitting itself being decorated.
