3/three Step Anglepoise 1227 Lamp. Rare Complete Early Model. Original Condition
Posted by admin On July 19, 2020
RARE 3 STEP ANGLEPOISE BY HERBERT TERRY & SONS. Crabtree bakelite bulb holder. Completely untouched, original condition. Fully working, but not currently PAT tested (advisable to get old lamps checked). Rewired with black vintage flex. Earthed at the earthing point on the lower fork. For its age it holds its position well. Tarnishing/rusting to springs, spacer and brackets. Paint loss to the shade, arms and base. Also additional paint splashes to the base (the lamp has been in a workshop for its entire life). The shade yolk is not held in place by the shade bolt (this bolt looks to be a replacement). The interior arm of the shade yolk has been broken and therefore falls a little short of the retaining bolt. This doesn’t affect the function/positioning of the lamp. The inside of the shade has been painted at some point, most of which has worn away. I have left what remains, as I prefer 3 steps to be left in whatever condition they are found. PLEASE SEE MY OTHER LISTINGS FOR FURTHER LAMPS FROM MY COLLECTION. The item “3/THREE STEP ANGLEPOISE 1227 LAMP. RARE COMPLETE EARLY MODEL. ORIGINAL CONDITION” is in sale since Saturday, July 18, 2020. This item is in the category “Antiques\Antique Furniture\Lamps\20th Century”. The seller is “point.one” and is located in Accrington. This item can be shipped to United Kingdom.
