GUEST: My husband and I, uh, have been collecting Mid-Century Modern for a number of years, uh, since way back in the '80s, and, uh, we like more unusual pieces, and, uh, we found out about a piece from a dealer in Saugatuck, uh, near Grand Rapids. And we were told that this is a prototype George Nelson lamp. And we knew this was a George Nelson bubble, but we've never seen anything like this on the base.
APPRAISER: You know, it's interesting, because George Nelson actually worked for Herman Miller right here in Western Michigan and did a lot of really interesting things. I looked at this with a couple of my colleagues, and we do believe that it's a George Nelson prototype. I've never seen it in the marketplace, and I do believe it's George Nelson. This piece is great. I think probably in today's market, this piece would bring between $4,000 and $6,000.
GUEST: Wow. Interesting, because I paid $280 for it. (laughs)
APPRAISER: You did very well, you did very well.
