How about a combination cigarette lighter, clock and lamp... that looks like a phone?!

Are those made by RonCo?
I'm nearly speechless. Now you can smoke and watch the clock and read a book and make a fake telephone call to pretend to look busy.
Form Follows Frivolity.
But it is advertised as "Eames Era", so it must be worth hundreds. ;D ;)
I saw one of these in pink in an antique store a few years ago. They had it plugged in and you wouldn't believe how quickly the lighter element heated up.
Eames must be rolling in his/her grave!!!
The old electric lighter elements scare the crap out of me!
I had an art deco lighter 20+ years ago. it was an "Electric Match" type though.
Or, you could watch the time by the lamp, and, sing "You light up my life".
;D

That would look great next to my painting of Elvis on black velvet. :D

You should have held onto it, Steve--Electric matches go for small fortunes on ebay.
What the heck were they thinking ?

Or with that electric lighter you could accidentally light up your whole house, and not in a good way.
But wait! It comes in pink do you say? Well, in that case, I'll take two. One each for Mr. and Mrs. Eames, please.

Thousands actually. Maybe millions.
