High Tension Insulator… now a lamp

June 28, 2009 in Blog 0

We have a warehouse full of parts. I’ve always tried to keep that inventory fresh in my mind when shopping flea markets. Sometimes I’m lucky enough to find the rare original missing part to an early lamp. Then there are times when completely different items fit together as if they were made for each other. This High Tension Light is just that! We had a small number of perfect 17″ diameter porcelain shades put away and then I found these 4 large brass, ceramic and aluminum insulators. They were the perfect marriage but not an easy one. Our machine shop wore out 6 drill bits just getting through the heavy solid ceramic core. It was worth the effort… Their unique look, finish and impressive size make them a real standout. SOLD
