    This Psychedelic Flower Power Lamp with all it's brightly colored flowers and positive vibes has a sad story behind it. Seems the girl who owned this colorful electric lamp went missing in California in the late 1960s - never to be found. Her Mom kept her room untouched until her death in the last year or two when the person I purchased it from was allowed to go inside to acquire a piece or two from the estate. Currently sits on our piano, where I carry the Mom's torch.
