Acquired Vintage c. 1940s Fluorescent Desk Lamp (Radionic Trans. Co.)

Material: Steel
Design: art deco, two pedestals with an adjustable lamp head
Color: Brown crinkle paint

On September 21st, I picked up this vintage lamp for my desk. It was a steal at $14.99 from the local thrift shop which doesn’t often have lamps at all. The brown crinkle paint is a near perfect match for my 1955 Royal HH standard typewriter. While a bit dusty and covered in decades of nicotine, it’s cleaned up nicely and works well. I love the fact that there are small grooves in the base that seem to be designed to hold a pen or pencil.
