Description: ITEM IS USED WITH A FEW BUMPS AND BRUISES. AS YOU CAN IMAGINE. ONE OF THE ROLLING ARTICULATING WHEELS HAS FAILED AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. OR REPLACE ALL THE WHEELS WITH NEW WHEELS, OR REMOVE THE WHEELS AND INSTALL IT ON A PERMANENT WOOD BASE? OR A GRANITE STONE BASE?? MAYBE EVEN BETTER AND MAYBE MORE SOLID??. ALSO THE BAKE-LIGHT BEZEL IS SHOWING SOME SIGNS OF WEAR AND TEAR BUT IS WORKING FINE NOW. THERE MUST HAVE BEEN SOME TYPE OF TORSION SPRING IN THE HANDLE TO CONTROL THE ANGLE OF THE DRYER/LAMP HEAD. A WIRE HAS BEEN INSTALLED TO SUPPORT THE HEAD AND KEEP IT AIMED IN ONE SPOT. SEE PHOTOS. IT APPEARS TO BE CIRCA 1950-1960??? MAYBE OLDER?? THIS WAS PURCHASED AT THE MELROSE SWAP MEET IN L.A. OR AT THE PASADENA ROSE BOWL SWAP MEET, FOR $1,500 10 YEARS AGO ROUGHLY?? PURCHASED FROM A LOCAL ARTIST WHO CONVERTS THINGS LIKE THIS INTO INDUSTRIAL ART, USABLE ART, FUNCTIONAL ART, KNOWN AS UP-CYCLING?? THIS IS A FLOOR LAMP, READING LAMP, INDUSTRIAL ART PIECE. THERE ARE TWO DIFFERENT LIGHT BULBS, ONE IS INSIDE THE SMALL UPPER FLUTED AREA BEHIND THE ROTARY SWITCH AND IS TURNED ON BY THE ROTARY SWITCH. THE OTHER LIGHT BULB IS IN THE CENTER OF THE HAIR DRYER SECTION AND IS TURNED ON BY TOUCHING THE EXTERIOR OF THE HOUSING, IT IS SAFE (IT HAS A TOUCH SENSITIVE SWITCH). AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PHOTOS BOTH LIGHTS ARE IN WORKING ORDER. I THINK THE BUM WHEEL CAN BE REPLACED WITH A WHEEL FROM AN INDUSTRIAL HARDWARE STORE. THE WHEEL SHAFT PULLS RIGHT OUT OF THE BASE/BOSS RECEIVER PRETTY EASILY. WHEEL IS SIMILAR TO OFFICE CHAIR ROLLING WHEELS. THE BAKE LIGHT BEZEL IS IN FUNCTIONAL CONDITION NOW. BUT IT LOOKS AS IF IT WAS REPAIRED BY THE ORIGINAL ARTIST WHO CONVERTED IT TO A LAMP. BOTH LAMPS FUNCTION FINE. THIS THING IS VERY HEAVY WITH THE CAST IRON BASE. SO I DON’T RECOMMEND SHIPPING. YOUR CALL ON SHIPPING. I AM LISTING IT AS LOCAL PICK-UP ONLY DO THE NATURE OF THE PIECE (ART) AND THE WEIGHT AND SIZE, ETC.. YOU CAN COME LOOK AT IT BEFORE YOU BID ON IT. THANKS FOR CHECKING IT OUT. MAKE ME AN OFFER!!!! HAVE FUN EBAYING!!!!
