All original. Lamp is wired for American outlets and functions properly when tested. Few moderate impressions to the housing and to the diffuser disc. The top of the housing is slightly misshaped around the rim. Scattered losses to the enamel on the interior, on the removable tapered diffuser, and the top of the disc shaped diffuser. The plug is missing an internal cap that covers exposed wires. It can currently be used but finding a replacement or updating the plug is advised. Good vintage condition.
