1970s Mid-Century Modern Articulated Desk Lamp

The lamp is in good condition considering its age. It has no major imperfections on its shade, articulated arm, or base., and its wiring appears to be in good condition, too. The plug is not grounded, however, (i.e., both prongs are the same size, as was the standard back in the 1970's), so having the lamp rewired to add a uni-directional grounding plug is therefore recommended. The 6 X 8 inch size noted above applies to the weighted base only. The articulated arm has two sections which are 10 inches and 12 inches long respectively (the section holding the lamp head is the longest). Since the arm zigzags, the lamp is effectively as wide as the longest arm, i.e. 12 inches wide. When the arms are extended to their full height, though, the width shrinks and the height rises to 18-20 inches.
