Now I have seen everything

Post by Bruce »

I enjoy checking in every now and then with posts on this site to keep up with tips from other collectors and restoration enthusiasts. Once and awhile someone finds a unique machine to share.

This time it is my turn - thank goodness my wife is my buying conscience and this one will not find it'w way into my house.

It would look much different with the lamp shade in place

There does not seem to be fully restored one on the web,

I don't think I would be comfortable knowing there were three hot lightbulbs around my record. :o

Where today would one find bulbs with that bayonet base? Or am I misreading the photos?

I think bayonet-base incandescent lamps such as these are still fairly common in England, if not elsewhere in Europe.

Indeed, they are still the most commonly found fitting. All new houses are fitted with bayonet type bulbholders, but screw fittings are gradually becoming more common on table lamps and chandeliers.

B22 base bulbs are indeed easy to obtain. They are quite common in England and France. I have a Toshiba LED B22 with in my 1930's French wall lamp. Just look at US ebay for 'B22 bulb' and you'll find a lot.

A strange looking beast. The base does not look original. And I wonder how the shade was attached. Must be something for that missing as well.

I would say that it's best attribute is that, for the most part, it's flammable.
