LAMPS $200. Each.
You are viewing a NEW repurposed and painted 8 qt.Vintage Hood Milk Can converted to lamps displaying the proud local to New England metal "HOOD" label. The can is 7 7/8 W x 27 H to shade top. Some of these steel cans had never received a Galvanized coating (Only the labels were kept lacquered and galvanized). So for Interior purposes I preferred the cleaner more "presentable" look - vs - the "Keep the Rust" natural patina look for some of these Milk Can Lamps. It has been meticulously hand cleaned using several chemical techniques and had been polished before priming and painting, resulting in a smooth to the touch texture. It has also been sprayed with several coats of primer and finish for protection and is near perfect in shape displaying NO major dents or disfigurements.
Certainly, the beauty, proportion and relevance of the lamp parts is what distinguishes these Lamps from others perhaps seen in the past.
Parts include mostly Lacquered Nickel lamp fittings to compliment the metal can. The Nickel vase cap is also meant as a takeoff point separating it from the can itself. And then there is the substantial, heavy duty 1 1/2" wide tubing post. These parts are meant to be seen ! Comes with ample 8' cord and a 9 1/2" shade harp. This large size lamp can take up to a 15 or 16 inch lampshade making it a prominent fixture.
Whites shades are included
