When we first launched Swank Lighting we began selling our lamps on eBay. Although there are many eBay sellers with Murano Lamp listings, we always believed that we only had one true competitor, and we were HUGE fans of his.

We covered the origins and history of the Airstream in Part 1. We learned about its colorful past. What about the present and future?
Well, it looks a lot like this…
