The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Folks,

Lets start the new year off with a bang!!

I have a a couple of these lamps (named Combination or Portable lamps) hung in my phonograph room with reproduction period bulbs (See next picture). Wow do they add character. Today I have my two last available portable lamps for sale

• Both of these are original combination/ portable lamps patented in January 29, 1895. I've attached the patent for the lamp.

• Both have aged to a nice rose brass patina

• Both are very special as they are made by Hubbel.

Hubbell Incorporated was founded in 1888 by Harvey Hubbell II. Hubbell's best-known inventions are the U.S. electrical plug and the pull-chain light socket. Hubbel made some of the highest quality lamps available at the turn of the century.

• Both of these retain the original Hubble pull chain socket with the mica insert.

LAMP 1 - $225.00 SOLD
This lamp is all original, except the new, correct, period looking wire. Even the plug is an original. The lamp works and presents exceptionally well. LAMP 2 - $185.00 SOLD
This lamp is all original, except the new, correct, period looking wire, a new plug, and a replaced chain pull on the original Hubbel socket. The lamp works and presents exceptionally well.

These are the last portable lamps I have available. Portable lamps are pretty hard to find and really make a phonograph room.

Shipping only is additional on each lamp.
