I love these lamps, have wanted to begin a collection forever & always looking - had no idea the majority were created by the Viir Family! I grew up in MI, these were on everyone's new TV in the 50's, we were so amazed that Davey Crockett could be on our own lamp! Do you know if Cactus Craft also produced the motion pictoral lamp shades? I'll be starting my search soon, if I luck out will let you know via this site.

I absolutely love it, however the lamp shade (with cowboys on one side branding cattle and horses running on the other side) has cracked. Is there a specific way to care/clean the lamp shades with out causing further damage? Thanks, Kim I recently just purchased a cactus craft lamp.

I just won a Cactus Craft lamp on eBay,,, unassembled in the original box! I see the lamps on eBay fairly often, but they're not often cited as being by Cactus Craft. The give-away is the distinctive wheels on the covered wagons, and while I believe other companies made similar products, 90% of them are sure to be from Cactus Craft of AZ. Just keep an eye on the eBay TV lamp listing! BTW: Have Jeffrey shoot me an e-mail, will you? I'd love to discuss the company with him! - Mark Ali,

Not surprisingly Jeffrey does not own any of the things he helped created and market. Do you have or know of anyone I can contact that might have one of the old cactus lamps? I think it would be great for Jeffrey to now own something of his history. Thank you, Ali Avey Hello,
