ShootingEgg Posted July 9, 2023 Report Share Posted July 9, 2023 Just up in the loft at my folks place and we stumbled across this light house lamp. Was my dad's uncles and we think it's been mad out of a WW shell casing. Needs a re wire but half tempted to get it back up and running. No where to put or use it though haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JKD Posted July 9, 2023 Report Share Posted July 9, 2023 Sort of item that I'd see in an old antique shop,,,, tucked away at the back of a shelf. Very nice lamp, but like you say (sort of), not trendy at the moment 🤷🙂 Wouldn't be polishing it though,,,, patina and all that 🤷🤔😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShootingEgg Posted August 3, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2023 Think he was a bit surprised to be honest... Sounded like dealers were there as all the similar stuff was bought by the same paddle number 1 hour ago, TIGHTCHOKE said: Well done, you best knock some more up now!
