Trumpet Custom Light Table Lamp on Log Base with gray shade made from real brass Reynolds instrument.
Here
is sweet one-of-a-kind Trumpet Custom Light Table Lamp with gray shade,
although I do have the same new shade in white if you prefer,
made from a real instrument. The trumpet is vintage probably mid
to late 1970's to early 1980's made by Reynolds in the USA, with that
natural petina. So, brass and chrome is showing its
age, and it shows normal wear and tear dings and scuffs you would expect
to see on a used
piece, and adds to the overall look. Has a new gray lamp shade by
Jara, which still has the clear protective wrap, and piece of paper that
says jara under that, which comes right off when you remove the wrap.
Takes a special light bulb, which is included. Also, includes a long 2
prong power cord with 2 way flip-a-switch, which achieves
off and on.
It is missing the 3 little end caps, seen in pic #10, threads are bent and worn. Comes with a nice heavy shallacked wood log base
with a wood pole sticking up, trumpet is pressure fitted on the pole,
and can pull out. This is a working instrument, and was not physically
or structurally altered in any way, so if you want to convert it back to
a working instrument, you can. Bottom of valves were unscrewed, and
removed, as the wire had to go through the holes inside. A little bit of
glue was put on the screw on cover to the button to hold it in the
"open" position. I will include the valves, the buttons will come away
very easy from the glue, and will rescrew right on, just remove the glue
residue first. If keeping as a light, try not to touch the buttons, or
they will break free. The bell has some little wavy thing going on.
If you prefer: I can
convert it back to a working trumpet for you, and send just the trumpet,
and I would knock off 50% off the shipping. Please message me first, so
I can change the shipping price first. The mouth piece is stuck in
place. Valves action worked fine, no sticking, but could use some valve
oil through.
