ANTIQUE ORIGINAL BRASS/COPPER DIETZ ORIENT MOTOR CAR LAMP BLACK FRIDAY SALE!!!

Description: MERRY CHRISTMAS You are bidding on a used vintage ORIGINAL BRASS/COPPER DIETZ ORIENT MOTOR LAMP in remarkably great condition. It carries an embossed set of patent dates of Jan. 4, 87, Nov. 25, 90, and Jan, 26, 87. New York is also embossed in the circular tag on the back side. In the center of the tag is a red glass lens that is not cracked nor broken. There is a DIETZ tag on the right side as well. The burner wick adjusting knob is the original and undamaged one that has DIETZ USA embossed on it. PLEASE NOTE THAT I HAVE NOT TRIED TO TURN THE WICK KNOB as most of these old knobs need some "friendly persuasion". The glass in the door is perfect and looks original. The door and its lock have no dents/dings/repairs and are functional. The chimney has a very small dent that will probably not show up in the photos. The burner looks to be in good order but the reflector will need replating if put into use. The heavy-duty brass side mount is perfect, and the locking bolt looks original. Previous owner(s) tried to shine up the lamp with some sort of white polish or cleaner that has left a white crust-like residue in places which I have not attempted to remove. (It will come off easily I believe). Condition issues: Other than the top of the chimney, there are five small spots on the rear of the lamp-see photos from different angles. I have given my best critique of this DIETZ ORIENT beauty. If you should have any questions about it, please send me a note. I have seen a few other brass-era automobile lamps like this one, but most don't even come close as far as condition. Shipping in USA is $30.00. Insurance for the winning bidder's final bid will be paid by current owner to any of the 50 states.
