Rare Tent Air-Raid Blackout lamps

These are quite different. The lamps are small, impressive and very inventive…. They work best as an informal group or in a line across a counter. It’s perfect for restaurant use… up for lunch lighting and down for dinner. They were used in war time military field tents to cut down light during air raids. When pulled down it worked as a more intimate reading lamp. Raised and snapped in place in the up position it would light a larger area. The bulb socket is also unique with it screw clamp end to hold the wire. I was lucky to find a number of these hidden away for years in warehouse storage. This is a rare opportunity to find a quantity of vintage and matching lamps at one time. Call for prices.
