This is a very interesting lamp, used for emitting a ‘legal’ amount of light, during blackout times during WW2. It has a coloured shade, and a black base. The box is definitely well worn, hinges a little flimsy but still works as a box should. The box has “Made in England” on it, as well as a little branding. It states, “600 hours from one unit” on the side of the box too. The lid, also has a stamp that say “Amber” as well which we think relates to the ambient colour this lamp gives off.

The interesting thing about this piece is that the connections show that it’s been used at some point, also, comes complete with shade and lamp (installed) plus original box. The lamp and shade itself is in VERY good condition, with no cracks, splits or even scratches.
