HERE WE HAVE: A table lamp with a base that is a vintage parking meter! The back panel is missing on the meter, but I think it may be a Duncan branded piece? It is marked to accept nickels and dimes. It is also marked as being for the City of Chicago. Fits one standard Edison bulb. Comes with the pictured harp, although it doesn't fit great, so I'm not sure if it's original.

CONDITION: Being sold as is, for parts or restoration! It's not complete and not working! We don't have the back panel for the meter and I don't know if any other parts are missing. The meter wasn't tested. I tried two different bulbs with the lamp, and it wasn't coming on, so it must need some servicing. There are scuffs, scratches, discoloration, color loss and corrosion throughout. The base has more corrosion than the rest of the piece, and there are some larger nicks to the metal along the bottom edge of the base. There's a dent to the metal where the instructions are marked. Comes with the pictured harp, although it doesn't fit great, so I'm not sure if it's original. Light bulb not included. Will come as shown, so please see photos!
MEASUREMENTS: Piece measures approximately 29" tall including the harp/finial. The meter portion alone is about 16 1/2" tall. The meter is about 8" wide at the furthest points and the base has a diameter of 6".
SHIPPING: Calculated.
