lamp on eBay
 

I'm just trying to think of what the proper reaction would be if a Sigma Chi would have said, "We've got these great party favors!" and would have given me this:

"Sweetheart Ball 1963" Who knows. In 1963 it might very well have been a great party favor. Regardless, that is one heck of a vintage lamp!

It may not be worth much (wonder if anyone is keeping the bidding low :cool:), but I would think it might be something fun to have in a dorm or at the house. Or some alum might like it in his rumpus room. (Hmmm) A conversation starter for sure. And now that I think about it, I believe one of my older (biological) brothers had a similar lamp in his room at fraternity house. I think it came with the room.

By the way, you should see what the Sweetheart got. I believe it might have been a toaster-oven. ;)
