AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

It is very rare to have such rocket lamp.
After Gagarin's spaceflight, it was very fashionable to make rocket lights in factories. Yuri Alexeyevich Gagarin (Russian: Юрий Алексеевич Гагарин;) was a Soviet-Russian astronaut, the first man in outer space - launched the Vostok-1 spacecraft on April 12, 1961, from Baikonur on a one-turn journey around the Earth.
Iron, plexiglass.
It was made in either socialist Hungary or in the Soviet Union. These "Rocket lights" were made by the workers in the factories during working hours. In socialist Hungary, it was typical that during working hours they did not work for the factory, but made something for themselves, we called this work "fusizás".
Good condition. There are small traces of time and use. The subject is more than 60 years old.
Safety Warning: It must be inspected from the point of view of contact protection.
Of course, it can also be collected in person in Budapest, Hungary.
Space Age, Art deco, bauhaus, industrial, vintage.
Look carefully at the photos, they are part of the description.
