UNUSUAL COCA-COLA BOTTLE LAMP

Sign In to see what this sold for

Circa 1930's; 20 1/2" tall; features a beautiful acid stained bottle which diffuses light wonderfully; this lamp is hard to find and is the same type of bottle that was used on some of the vary scarce outdoor double light fixtures like the one that adorned the Fort Wayne, IN bottling plant; this light is topped with a weathered Coca-Cola display cap over a copper liner that seats nicely on the top of the bottle; the entire bottom of the bottle is cut away; the bottle is glue-mounted to an ornamental brass base; this piece displays wonderfully, however general wear to the painted lettering and weather staining and wear to the exterior of the bottle, could likely only be achieved from exposure outdoors, which would lead us to believe that the lamp assembly is a later re-creation; very interesting item which displays wonderfully; condition 7 to 7.5 / VG
