Owl weren't a particularly common subject for TV lamps, but a few diverse interpretations of the theme were produced. With the exception of the Kron design, most owl TV lamps are scarce. The distinctive Leland Claes owl is particularly rare.

	value:  rarity: The K559 Owl TV Lamp is fairly common with this coloration, but also found occasionally in white.  Designers Kron and Gunter made a single example of the owl TV lamp in a mother-of-pearl finish at the special request of a close friend.  Whereabouts of that lamp is unknown.  As with the Bear and the Bull & Brands, the owl was also produced as a table lamp, an extremely rare variation.

	What's better than finding a Kron owl TV lamp?  Finding a new one! This lamp is what is known as "new-old stock", or NOS.  It has been in its original box and shipping carton since, well...since it was packed!
	A close-up of the electrical parts shows the unused condition.  All of the original labels are present, including the "Do not use over 25w bulb" warning.  The socket has never held a bulb, the plug has never been in an outlet, the twist-tie has never been off the cord. The cord is still flexible and shows no evidence of age!
	value:  rarity: Few owl TV lamps were made, and this one by Marcia of California is a beauty! It is clearly less naturalistic (and less spooky!) than the Kron owl.  Photos courtesy of John from Clarkston, Michigan.

	value:  rarity: This one is a curious example as it's dated 1970, roughly ten years after most TV lamp production had ceased. It's possible that it wasn't marketed as a TV lamp, but rather a night-light for a child's room. Photo courtesy of Woodland Trace Collectibles/Bill Keller, Knoxville, TN.
	value:  rarity: Just when I was about to get over the shock of finding a Claes horse TV lamp, here comes this crazy looking owl! Photos courtesy of Mike Nollette of Spokane, Washington.
	A face that only a mother could love! That nose...
	The bottom shows a copyright date of '54.
	value:  rarity: A very rare owl from Lane. Certainly a late production style, the mold is impressed, Lane Ceramics, rather than the Lane & Co. marking usually found on their products. Photos courtesy of eBay seller, eireladdie...one of the best!
	While the pottery is marked Lane Ceramics, an earlier Lane & Co. UL label was used on the fixture.
