I wish there some precious collectible these nihilists liked that I could ruin for them and put up a picture to grab as many of them as possible.

Thing is, I can't look at a Contempra now without wanting to check if it has the upside down logo on it like Duffy's...

I saw the auction and checked it against Duffy's post. It appears contempras are upside down on-hook and right-side up off-hook, while in-use................usually.

I bought this Northern Electric Candlestick N50AL made into a lamp.
I converted it right back to to it's former glory. It was a good thing that the person that did this left everything intact.

Found this little chrome phone at a thrift shop for a dollar.

I decided to make a lamp out of it.  LOL  ;D

NOTICE
No actual harm was done to any original telephones in the making of this lamp!

Hopefully these little gems should sate the destruction lust of the truly gifted....
