We bought a lamp repair business that had been in business for over 20 years and with it came a nice collection of vintage lamps, some outstanding floor lamps, but the big treasure was the Aladdin electric lamp collection that came with the purchase. The beauty of these lamps made in America started in 1930 and ended in 1955. Finding these treasures put us on a mission. We sell Aladdin electric lamps for home use and to be passed along for generations to come. When our customers purchase an Aladdin electric lamp, they are helping to preserve a piece of American history. Meet Sherry B., Business Owner: I so enjoy being a small business owner. After 12 years working as a photojournalist at six different daily newspapers in six different cities I chose to stay in beautiful Tacoma and started my first small business. Some 25 years later, my shop is now full of vintage lighting - the shop is like playing in a life size doll house. I am surrounded by wonderful fix-it people which is a good thing since I am a breaker type person. The shop is a wonderful place to enjoy the company of other people who love their lamps. Lamp lovers are, well, lamp lovers. It is heartwarming that people trust us with their treasured lamps, and we have seen some one-of-a-kind beauties. Each new day in the shop brings a new and wonderful challenge. We often hear customers say, this place reminds me of lamps my grandmother had, that warms my heart. Being a small business owner has its challenges and we appreciate the support we receive from the community and customers that drive for two hours to get to us.
