Slight correction the photograph Paul referred to towards the end of the video, which we have included, was of a woman glancing at a Japanese skull which had been signed by her boyfriend and his friends. We do not know if it was made into a lamp.

Citation for photograph which was used under fair use:
“Arizona war worker writes her Navy boyfriend a thank-you note for the Jap skull he sent her.” LIFE magazine's “Picture of the Week,” May 22, 1944.
An addition photo caption was:
"When he said goodbye two years ago to Natalie Nickerson, 20, a war worker of Phoenix, Ariz., a big, handsome Navy lieutenant promised her a Jap. Last week Natalie received a human skull, autographed by her lieutenant and 13 friends, and inscribed: "This is a good Jap - a dead one picked up on the New Guinea beach."
