The lamp was definitely produced during the period when interest in space travel was coming of age. The shape of the tripod legs and lamp shade resemble a rocket, without the pointed top.

Although the manufacturer is not identified, this lamp is similar to lamps produced by the Modeline Lamp Co. It is styled after lamps designed by Adrian Pearsall. The lamp is 41” high and the shade is 8” across. The lampshade is 28” long. The legs are 24”:high and are wider at the bottom. The size of the lamp and shape allows it to fit in narrow spaces. The lamp takes one light bulb, with a pull chain on and off switch.

The vintage lamps are in good condition for their age, since I estimate that they were produced in the 1950s or 1960s. There is minor wear and tear due to the age and use. The shade is intact, however, there is some crimping, and minor discoloration. Please refer to the pictures.

The vintage wiring works, however, I recommend that vintage wiring be checked or inspected prior to use. Alternatively, the vintage wiring can be replaced. Unsafe electric lamps can cause injury from electric shock or fire. As the seller, I assume no responsibility for injury or property damage resulting from the use of these lamps. See less
