value: rarity:
A first (and last) for TV lamps, this "Sea Horse" is unusual to say the least. A creature from Roman mythology, the Sea Horse, or "Hippocampus", was the preferred mount of the God Neptune, and appeared in paintings in the lost city of Pompeii. (But I suspect that lamp buyers in the 50's weren't hep to all that stuff) Also found in maroon.
