| Cleaned out the shed last night and found a couple of old lamp bases I forgot I had that I decided would make great solar table lamps; this one is an old oil lamp base.

| This one was a table lamp, but it didn't go with our decor, so it languished in the shed. It's unmarked, but may be by McCoy.

| My back porch gets afternoon sun; if it's not enough, I can always set them out in the sun for the day if I'll need them at night. |

| Oh my these are cute. The modern solar and the antique lamp bases. The "McCoy" (or other pottery) I especially like. If you find another, 3 would be cute together on a table. Or 2 together on a table with another object to tie the 3 pieces together. |

| I have a brand new top, but can't find the right base, lost it. So now I could do this! Did you just glue it? |

| Used construction adhesive, which hasn't held up well, so will try GE II next. |

| I like your lamps very much. I recently found some glass lamp shades at the thrift store (3/$1), got some solar lights on sale, paired them up, and "floated" them in the creeping phlox in the garden. Sorry about the lousy picture but you get the idea.
