Well....wouldn't you know it. I can't find it now. It was a "store" person selling it, too. I didn't watch it or anything, because the lamp sells for $250 at the BC, and the person on ebay was asking $350!! It makes you wonder if WDW is "cracking down" on people like that...surely no one bought it, and it was a store item, so it didn't have an end date on it.
Anyway, it looks a lot like this one here, except the lampshade is beige and white striped, instead of blue and white; and an old fashioned Mickey is sitting in the lifeguard chair. It's pretty cool...it is hand-carved.

The BCV pins have always been "slim pickins"...there's just not that many of them...but, they usually have a few.
If you are looking for really cool "beachy" memorabilia, check out the Doss prints at any WDW art store (you can also look them up on ebay). I have a couple of those as well....REALLY nice!!!
Also, if you have not seen it, go over to the YC store...the boat in there is really cool!!!
I was told the Beach Club towels were "just a memory"....but, it would be really nice to bring them back!!!
I have been able to find at LEAST one really cool BCV/BC outfit. One time it was a light blue linen top and pants, and last time it was a really cozy blue sweat jacket...so nice!! I have to add to my collection every time we go.
Have fun shopping!!!
