	Brass Electric Side Lamp SL261 Original, quality, 1920's cast brass electric side lamp. This is a model referred to as a 'Pullman's Lamp', as most people think the hole in one foot is for screwing to the table in a Pullman train carriage or on board a ship; this is not so. This form of side lamp was catalogued in its day as a guest room electric side or wall light and would originally have a knuckle joint on the stem, so when hanging on a wall hook (using the hole in the foot) the bulb holder could be angled up or down. Often, this knuckle was part of the bulb holder fitting and has been lost during rewiring to conform to modern safety standards. This lamp has been rewired with modern three core silk covered flex, a new bulb holder, switch and a three pin plug and is fully overhauled, polished and lacquered. Complete and in good and working order. The shade is for display only. 9" spread of base and 12.5" high excluding shade. Click on photo for larger and other views. Price: £165.00
