Condition
Overall excellent original condition. Some minor chips to paint consistent with age and use. Socket is slightly loose. Retains an original wooden spacer at the juncture of the wire to the lacquered metal base element. Currently wired for use in the US with a bayonet style bulb. Superb example of the form in a rare brilliant blue paint that is much richer and brighter than in the catalogue illustration.
