I like your Salvation Army find, it looks sort of "atomic".

Your aunt's lamp that you covet is cool too--I think it's inspired by the hammered copper lamps made by Dirk Van Erp during the Arts & Crafts era. His originals can sell for up to a quarter-million dollars!

That is probably the most frequently copied lamp that I know of and the imitations just worsen with time...
