This is a gorgeous and hard-to-find 1970s vintage Table Lamp with a CARNIVAL GLASS body with ornate antiqued gold metal base and cap. The glass is fabulous, with luster colors of the rainbow over amber glass. The underside of the metal base says "Copyright TM 1972, No. 145-4-5X, FF & FF Industries, Inc." From other sources, I've learned this company was based in Dayton, Ohio, and was acquired by Locus Industries, Missouri, in 2000. The modern hardware features a three-way switch to light (1st) the main top bulb, (2nd) the bulb within the carnival glass body, or (3rd) both the top bulb and the interior bulb at the same time. The wiring all works and seems in fine condition. In a dark room, the interior bulb casts a wonderful warm amber glow through the colored glass. When the top bulb is on, the iridescent lusterware finish is highlighted. I tried to photograph the glass under different lights to better show the colors. This piece stands 23" tall to the top of the gold chrome bulb receptacle and the glass is roughly 11" in diameter at its widest. The glass is in great shape with no breaks, chips, wear or scratches. The metal base and cap have some corrosion which will need retouching or refinishing. I had planned to disassemble everything and use the glass portion as a hanging globe, which I thought would be fun --- but I have too many project ideas! As the photos show, this is a rare and unusual lamp, well worth featuring in your home. Be sure to check my new store! I specialize in salt and pepper shakers in unique and hard-to-find dinnerware patterns. You will find hundreds of compatible colors, sizes and shapes to create a beautiful dining experience! I will be adding hundreds more in coming months, so visit often!

Shipping & Handling

Packages within the U.S. ship by your choice of Priority Mail or Parcel Post. (Parcel Post is often much slower. Please allow time.) Postage is based on box weight and your zipcode. Any handling fees are less than 50 cents. I'm always happy to combine sales to greatly reduce shipping costs for you. (Please wait for the combined invoice.) Insurance is included in shipping charges. I provide self-insurance for items under $50.00 in value and U.S. Postal Service insurance for items $50.00 or more in value. (See refund policy below.) I do pack carefully with lots of padding and separation to protect your purchase during normal rough shipping. Please review all my positive feedback from customers for the extra care I take when packing breakables!

International Buyers

International postage is highly variable between light and heavy boxes. If the box is under 4 pounds, you can choose First Class International or Priority Mail International. If the box is over 4 pounds, only Priority Mail is available. --- First Class International is often much less expensive, but insurance is not available with it. For items over $100 in value, Priority Mail must be purchased, to allow me to purchase insurance for you. ï¿½ Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. ï¿½ Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying. ï¿½ These charges are normally collected by the delivering freight (shipping) company or when you pick the item up ï¿½ please do not confuse them for additional shipping charges by me. ï¿½ I will not mark merchandise values below value or mark items as "gifts" - US and International government regulations prohibit such behavior.
