A beautiful, vintage 'Box Brownie Flash IV ' camera dating from around the 1940s that has been given a second life as an industrial style table or desk lamp. The shutter release button still works and you can look through the viewfinder (though the image isn't that clear!). This fantastic old item has been cleaned up and given a light polish but does show the patina that you'd expect from an item of this age.
A switched, brass finish, lampholder on a short pedestal has been securely fitted to the top of the camera. Traditional style braided 3 core cable in brown to suit the retro, industrial look of the lamp, runs down through the body of the camera leading to a plain black, fused, 3 amp plug. All electrical parts are outlet new and CE approved.
Comes with an Edison bulb (as pictured) to complete the industrial/steam punk look.
21cm tall to top of lampholder. Please message with your preferred bulb shape.
A stunning piece of photography history, re-purposed to give style (and light!) to any room.
Please note that this lamp comes with a UK plug fitted as standard. US or EU plugs can be fitted on request. Bulb will not be supplied for US sales as they are not compatible with 110v supply. Similar, 110v rated bulbs can however be purchased in the US.
