Anyone seen a lamp like this before?

I don't have a bulb in it, It was broken when it was brought up. (The ship went through an Atomic blast.) And it was in somewhat deep (for us) water.

But it looks the same - just the insulation is a bit flaky - someday soon I plan on mounting it and another lamp I have plus three portholes.

Mart> Is the base size a standard medium thread base or is it larger, as in a > mogul base?

Thanks bill - but this was war time and anything goes. Often tape. The U.S. Coast Guard developed a lot of the rules, with some coming from sailing ships.

Thanks for all the information about the lamp. Martin, if I find a source for replacement glass globes would you like me to let you know about it?

Best wishes,

Chris

Both of my globes - one small fist size with a cage over it and a larger beauty in bronze and frosted globe are both in good shape glass and bronze wise. The insides are the stumbling point - do I leave a 50 year old war relic as is or make it usable on the to be port holed yard barn. Time will tell.

I should have said - not Japanese - but German. At one time it was said to be but proved otherwise. - Little things like names and stamps on metal.
