Description
RARE SET:
DISNEY 1930's SORENG-MANEGOLD NEAR MINT BEIGE COLORED TIN "MICKEY MOUSE LAMP" WITH RARE ORIGINAL HAND PAINTED.
THE BEIGE ENAMELED METAL BASE IS APPROXIMATELY 5" DIAMETER X 6 3/4" TALL TO THE TOP OF THE ELECTRICAL BULB SOCKET.
THE BEIGE TIN LAMP BASE SET IS AS CLOSE TO OVERALL MINT CONDITION THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN BEFORE AND THE FINEST EXAMPLE THAT HAS EVER COME THROUGH MY COLLECTION.
THE ALL-IMPORTANT 3 MICKEY DECALS ARE IN MINTY CONDITION AND EACH 100% INTACT(VERY SCARCE).
THE UNDERSIDE OF THE BASE HAS THE FOLLOWING INCISED AUTHENTICITY TEXT:
SORENG-MANEGOLD CO. CHICAGO U. S. A.
THE ORIGINAL HAND-PAINTED SHADE'S GRAPHIC THEME IS THE SCARCEST OF ALL VERSIONS TO FIND AND ESPECIALLY IN THE VERY GOOD OVERALL "COMPLETE" CONDITION THIS EXAMPLE OFFERS.
THE GRAPHICS INVOLVE A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF DETAIL AND PROBABLY ONE OF THE REASONS THAT IT WAS PAINTED IN A VERY LIMITED SUPPLY.
THE ARTIST THAT I USE TO HAND PAINT REPLICA SHADES FOR ME HAS SEEN THIS SHADE AND SAID IT WOULD BE TOO DIFFICULT AND TIME-CONSUMING TO RE-CREATE AND SHE WOULD NOT BE WILLING TO RE-CREATE THE SAME FOR ME.
THE SHADE GRAPHIC VERSION IS PRINTED ON THE SAME READING AS FOLLOWS:
(C) W.D.E. 5.
THE LAMP SHADE(MADE IN U.S.A.) MEASURES APPROXIMATELY 7" IN BASE DIAMETER X 4" IN TOP DIAMETER X 5 3/8" TALL.
THE SHADE IS COMPLETE WITH THE ORIGINAL METAL HARDWARE, MAROON FABRIC TRIM WRAPPED AROUND AT THE TOP AND BOTTOM OF THE SAME.
THE SHADE IS IN OVERALL "AMAZING" VERY GOOD CONDITION WITH ONLY MINOR COSMETIC AND/OR CONSTRUCTION DISTRACTIONS(MOSTLY A SMALL AREA OF PAPER LOSS TO THE TITLING TEXT CAUSING THE LOSS OF THE LETTERS "HA" IN "YE HAUNTED HOUSE".
THE HAND-PAINTED GRAPHICS ARE STILL IN FANTASTIC CONDITION PROVIDING FOR GREAT DISPLAY AND USE POTENTIAL.
THE WRAP-AROUND GRAPHICS INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING AWESOME CHARACTERS:
MICKEY MOUSE, CLARA CLUCK, PLUTO, MINNIE MOUSE, AND CLARABELLE COW
THE DISPLAY QUALITY OF THE PIECE IS FANTASTIC AND I WILL BE ENJOYING THE SAME IN MY DISNEY ROOM UNTIL IT TRAVELS TO ITS NEW HOME.
THE CORD AND PLUG ARE ORIGINAL TO THE SET AND IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.
THE RUBBER GASKET WHERE THE ELECTRICAL WIRE ENTERS THE TIN LAMP BASE IS ORIGINAL TO THE SET AND IN NEAR-MINT CONDITION. MOST ORIGINAL GASKETS ARE ALMOST ALWAYS MISSING OR SEVERELY WORN).
THE UNDERSIDE OF THE LAMP SHADE HAS A FULL WRAP-AROUND CARDBOARD SLEEVE ATTACHED TO THE SAME TO BETTER PROTECT ANY FURTHER WEAR POTENTIAL TO THE FRONT SIDE.
PLEASE VIEW MY ENCLOSED PHOTO REFERENCES FOR THE BEST TOOL TO USE IN DETERMINING THE QUALITY OF THE PIECES THAT MAKE UP THIS WONDERFUL LAMP SET FOR YOURSELF.
A PICTURE IS STILL WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS........
