AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This slim cylindrical electric lamp is presumably from a nautical instrument or technical ship installation, possibly for illuminating an instrument or ship's telegraph. The lamp features a handsome brass housing, a glass light window and an adjustable mounting foot. The construction is notably long and slender: about 28 cm long and 4 cm in diameter.
The brass housing is sealed and shows no mark or manufacturer inscription.
Unique sealed fixture that draws power via the lampholder and ground.
Given the specific construction, this is mainly an interesting object for collectors of maritime history, ship instruments and nautical antiques.
Operation could not be tested. Provenance unknown. It may also originate from England. The connoisseur will undoubtedly know it.
Photos are part of the description.
The lamp is very carefully packed, sent by registered mail and insured with a track and trace code.
See also my other lots and may save on shipping costs.
Not shipped to the United States.
