Offered here is a rare lamp of extreme machine age design. Manufactured in the 1930′s, this Mercolite lamp was originally a mercury vapor heat lamp. It has been professionally converted to accept a standard medium Edison base light bulb, and operates as a lamp only. The copper reflective shade provides a warm light, highlighting the streamlined base. The shade portion pivots up and down by way of a wingnut joint. This lamp is in excellent working order. Most all external parts have been professionally plated in contrasting chrome and copper. The two aluminum end caps for the copper shade have been polished. The original porcelain heat bulb socket has been refurbished with a new porcelain medium Edison base socket. The original rotary switch has been refurbished with new like kind. The power cord has been replaced with reproduction rayon covered twisted type cord and appointed with a new vintage style plug. All internal wiring is new. A new felt has been applied to the underside of the base. This lamp accepts a standard medium Edison base light bulb. A long tube type light bulb would be ideal (refer to photo #5). An LED type bulb is recommended to minimize heat transfer to the metal shade. Light bulb is not included.
