I believe this lamp is from the 1950’s or 1960’s but I don’t know for sure. It was my grandfathers and was always with him in case of an emergency while on sailing trips from Long Beach to Catalina Island in the late 60’s and early 70’s. Light bulb says 9w and 1.5v on it. All wiring is complete and corrosion free. Although I have not tested it, I see no reason why it shouldn’t work. There are areas where the brass has been scratched or rubbed (Please see pictures with red circles) Rim around the base is separated on one side but still attached. Someone proficient in working with brass should be able to fix it with ease. None of the damage effects the lamps water resistant capabilities. Lamp measures 12 tall from the base to the top of the glass shade. Circumference is roughly 10. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.
