Antique Lamp - Beauty and Value by Harry Bernstein
The Many Uses of the Antique Lamp
An Antique lamp can be used for many things beside than just to create light. That may be one of the several reasons that some individuals would like to have a classic lamp or two in their house. Not a lot of people necessarily have the style which will take them to these kinds of lamps but those who do are definitely willing to spend quite a sum to get just what they are looking for. Generally it is both style and value which will lead a home owner to pick the right antique lamp to compliment their life style.
Aesthetic Beauty
Although not all of the classic or antique lamps are very pleasing to look at, almost every person has their favorite styles, taste and preferences. This means that an antique lamp which may seem aesthetically offensive to some may look great to others, or as they say "one person's trash is another's treasure". Many buyers who get these kinds of lamps usually put it on display and may even use it as the primary focus of the room.
Value and Practicality
The value of an old antique lamp may mean more than style for some people. Many of these old lamps are found to be desired because of their growth in value when they are bought and sold. Being an historical artifact may make these lamps quite valuable to some people. Several of the lamps are made from old items which mark an era of extravagance and history. Some of these Japanese style lamps are made from the older more classically designed sake containers that carry a load of culture and history with them. Others are made from the finest materials which could be found at that time, but which may not be available today. Yet many people value an antique lamp due to its history as well as the culture it came from.

We dug up some old antique soda pop bottles, what is the best way to clean them?
The insides are cloudy with caked on grime. We don't want to ruin the lettering on the bottles. I thought a dishwasher might be the best way, but I don't have one.
You don't want to put them in a dishwasher. That could remove the lettering from the outside of the bottles. What works for me is this:
Efferdent tablets for cleaning false teeth and a little bit of aquarium gravel, say 2 tablespoons. Put warm water in the bottle, add two efferdent tablets and the gravel. Let soak overnight. The next day, all you have to do is put your hand over the opening of the bottle and shake. The gravel will clean off the residue. Pour into a strainer and save the gravel for the next bottle.
