This is a vintage brass desk lamp. It has what appears to be original switches and is still operational! It is used but in good condition. The black turning switch on this lamp dates to a companies in the 20s. We did not take the felt bottom off which would have the name of the company in it. This is a cool find though and could easily decorate the home office or even the office. There is no shade with it and we are selling as is, we have not cleaned or polished the brass.
