Vintage 1950s McGill Industrial Trouble Light Steampunk Desk Lamp 100% ORIGINAL:
$129.00

Here is perhaps the nicest and coolest, most fully featured, antique trouble light you are likely to ever see. This 100 percent original and complete 5000 Series lamp was made by the McGill Mfg. Co. Inc. of Valparaiso, Indiana as noted just above the pull switch on the bakelite handle. Unlike nearly all other vintage trouble lights, this one comes with three pivoting extension loops that fold out to form an awesome petal-like base to stand the lamp up as shown in the first photo. This light is ready to be a table lamp with no modifications whatsoever. There is also a convex glass magnifying lens at the light end. You can remove the lens using a hinged bail handle to access the light bulb. There are multiple hook points for hanging the lamp, including the extension loops which fold up. Wing nuts on both sides of the upper handle enable the light to pivot in relation to its base. There is light tarnish/rust on some of the galvanized metal surfaces as shown in the photos. The glass lens has a few small chips in it that do not detract from its appeal or functionality in my opinion. The switch works perfectly and the original cord (about 25\' long!) is still supple, though faded with some staining. The original plug works fine, though the cover that goes over its terminals is missing as shown in the photo. The light measures 13\" tall when standing upright on its folded out loops as shown in the first photo. With the loops folded up (hanging orientation), the light measures 19\" end-to-end.
