fully extended: 12" H x 5.5" W x 5.25" D
lamp shade: 5.5" d
A compact vintage industrial task lamp with a clamp-mounted base, designed to grip the edge of a desk, shelf, drafting table, or workbench for focused, directional light. The deep metal dome shade and pull-chain switch give it that classic early utility look, while the aged brass-toned finish brings the warm, workshop-worn character collectors love. It is small enough for a bedside shelf or studio corner, but substantial in feel with a beautifully timeworn surface that reads authentic, not manufactured.
A great styling piece for industrial, library, loft, and dark academia spaces, and genuinely useful as a working light. The base features a keyhole slot, an original practical detail that allows it to hang on a screw or nail for storage when not in use. The underside is stamped with the TRU-LITE trademark and Brooklyn, U.S.A., a hardware-store trade name that adds a nice layer of provenance without needing it to be the main headline.
Condition:
Good vintage condition with heavy, attractive patina throughout, including surface wear, oxidation, spotting, and finish variation consistent with age and use. Expect minor scuffs and small marks to the metal surfaces. The clamp mechanism and springs show age and wear but present well and retain strong tension and character. Cord and plug appear to be later replacements. Please review photos closely as they are part of the condition description.
