These old items of any type might not be rare at the moment, but once loads of people start hunting for them to turn into lamps of fish tanks or whatever for “ easy” money and the dreaded fashion, then not only will the prices for those of us who actually prefer the said items un-molested/vandalised/upcycled( ruined forever or whatever you call it) increase, but these old things will then become rare! Well, un-vandalised ones anyway. When this crazy trend is over, and it is no longer” in” to have a lamp made from an old AVO or whatever, then the now ruined items will then be worth nothing to the people who had them, and less to enthusiasts.
A dangerous trend IMHO

There can’t be too many of those about?
No, it’s the last one in existence.
Shame it got turned into a lamp then

I can just imagine the antique dealers of the future cursing previous generations.
