    These lamps were all the rage in the 70s and early 80s. I think every one of my aunts and uncles had one of these at their houses (we never did.) I still think the one my dad's eldest sister had was the coolest of all because it not only had the raindrops, but the statue was of a woman running in with an open umbrella, and the bulb at the top was very small - like night light 4 watt bulb; but a larger 20 watt bulb in the bottom generated head which caused her umbrella to twirl.

My grandmother used to just grumbled at it - we grandkids thot it was the coolest thing when the oil would come down the fishing line. I saw this video & screen shot it and sent it my mother. "Daddy's lamp!" was her reply. I'm gonna fast forward to the end just to see your restoration!

    I have one of these. Though mine has double strands for the rain to drip. One set at a diagonal. The other straight. The bulb that should be used is a mini spotlight lamp. Like the large outdoor flood lights, but small, with a 3 inch diameter. My lamp looks good with amber; but the bulbs are made in many different colors. The light acts as a spotlight on the Venus figure and gives very dramatic mood lighting in a room. Very nice restoration. You made a real gem!

When my parents moved from Rochester, NY back to Williamsport, PA, I've looked for this rain lamp of theirs. Even when my mom died, I still looked for that rain lamp. When I mentioned it to my sisters, It was given away as a "wedding gift" to someone. Nobody never thought to tell me of what happened to it. Looking for another one is next to impossible because it's not made any more. But yes, rain lamp oil is still made. So if anyone has a rain oil lamp, hang on to it because it's value is great in your family.

Then in the early 80's my youngest brother and a friend were tossing around a Nerf football in the living room when my folks were out shopping and an errant pass destroyed the lamp. It had a light and was pretty cool looking back in the day. Great restoration and although this was not a clock, it sure brought back some memories.

They used to have a display of these in the 80s at a local hardware store and I had always wanted one. I got the motor working, but didn't grease the bearings, so it froze up again real good. I followed what you did and I got mine working again. So thank you for helping to bring my rain lamp back from the dead

    I have been searching for one of these for my granddaughter for years! They are very rare! My grandparents had one when I was a kid!

    Around age 4-5 (late 1970s), our neighbors had a rain lamp. I was FASCINATED by it. I would stare at it trying to figure out how it worked. Completely mesmerized. Also, I remember seeing rain lamps for sale in places like Sears, JC Penney, and Montgomery Ward, and thinking how very, very expensive and fancy they were. Who could've imagined how hot the vintage market for them on ebay would be in 2024?!? They really are very, very expensive, now!

    My grandma had this at the mid point of her stairs in her California condo... I was 7 years old, visiting from Arizona alone for the first time and completely mesmerized by it. I think I'm autistic bc I could sit on the stairs, overlooking her living room, for HOURS, absolutely entertained and wondering how it all worked. (I now have 3 autistic kids! That comment wasn't meant as a disparagement, but an acknowledgement of an obvious genetic bond) I concluded the rain was either melted wax flowing down wires, or oil. I'm both absolutely grateful you showed how the inner working parts created this illusion of rain, and also devastated bc now my inner child has been deprived of a dearly held mystery that was solved after 47 years. 😂 Bravo! You made it beautiful again! Slightly different, but nonetheless beautiful! ❤ 🌧️💧♀️

    My grandmother had one when I was really young. She hated cleaning it. Never thought I would see one again let alone one that worked.

    Those were so popular from the 70s into the 80s. I remember seeing them mostly in Italian restaurants.

      The Dixie Square Mall (used for the first police chase scene in _The Blues Brothers)_ had a _giant_ one of these in the main atrium when the mall first opened, called the “Golden Wonderfalls.” It didn’t last long, and was replaced by a regular water fountain when they renovated the place in an attempt to draw more customers in the 70’s.

    I thought only rich people had these when I was a kid. I loved them then and still do. I loved looking through the wonderful magazines filled with color photos of modern homes filled with beautiful ' things ' and dreaming of one day being a wife and mother. Nice memories.

    I wanted one so bad when I was a kid. I finally got one in a yard sale for $10.00 and it was in great condition. Totally love it. Happy you saved another! ❤
