ANTIQUE BLUE WHALE OIL OR ELECTRIC TABLE LAMP-VINTAGE

  FOR AUCTION IS THIS VINTAGE GLASS WHALE OIL OR ELECTRIC BLUE WITH DIAMOND OR CROSS PATTERN LAMP. FIRST LET ME SAY I BELEIVE THIS WAS ONCE AN OIL LAMP BUT I AM NOT SURE. I HAVE NEVER SEEN A LAMP MADE THIS WAY AND I THINK SOMEONE DRILLED THROUGH THE GLASS AND SOLDERED A THREADED SOCKET HOLDER ON THE TOP AND ADDED A CLOTH CORD PROBABLY BACK IN THE 1920-30'S. THERE ARE SEVERAL LAMP EXPERTS OUT THERE AND YOU WILL KNOW WRIGHT AWAY WHEN YOU SEE THE PICTURES AND PATTERN. THE PART THAT HAS ME FOOLED IS WHERE THE CORD COMES OUT OF THE SIDE OF THE LAMP FOR IT IS VERY SMOOTH AND PROFESSIONAL. THE LAMP IS PEAR SHAPED WITH ROUNDED SHOULDERS AND HAS AN HEXAGONAL BASE. THE LAMP MEASURES 9" HIGH TO THE COLLAR AND 4" ACROSS THE BASE. IF YOU WANT TO USE THIS AS AN ELECTRIC LAMP YOU WILL HAVE TO REWIRE IT. I TOOK SEVERAL PICTURES FOR YOU TO SEE THE CONDITION OF THIS LAMP. THERE ARE TWO TINY NICKS ON THE BOTTOM OF THE BASE AND CAN'T BE SEEN WHEN STANDING UPRIGHT. PLEASE SUPERSIZE THE PICTURES TO SEE THE CONDITION OF THIS VINTAGE LAMP. I SELL WORLDWIDE.
