    The Jewel Company of Chicago made some beautiful aquariums in the 1920's and they go for very high dollar now. How high? I am afraid to ask because the recreation shown here has an asking price of $8500. Zing! But check this out - the maker of this fine repo, Off The Wall Antiques, cast the parts off an original for accuracy and detail. Going even further, much of the trim is solid bronze and the top of the stand is marble. Want a bigger one? Off The Wall Antiques will make other sizes too. While you are in for thousands, just spend a little more and upgrade that light.

    If you still have a few bucks leftover, I happened to notice they still have that 1876 Fiske aquarium for sale.
