AVAILABLE - OKAY this is worth the wait and read because WOW. This circa 1950's Model M1410 Dazor Articulating Floor Industrial Magnifier Lamp HAS US SWOONING. All metal construction and it still has its original circular bulb intact…and it works great! The magnifier is clear - no nicks, chips or cracks…this piece is truly in perfect condition! It measures 42” from base plate to first connector. The middle arm measures an additional 18” in length and the top arm measures 12” long. It is also HEAVY, about 40 pounds.

In 1938, Harry Dazor teamed with Washington University professor Albert Perbal to create a company that would manufacture lamps. He came up with the idea for the " floating arm" portable light and the company specialized in task lights. Initially, Dazor lights were used as table lamps. It wasn't until the eruption of WWII that Dazor lamps became famous for high efficiency and lower costs. The government found Dazor lamps helped to conserve energy and were cheaper than costly overhead lighting. They were impressed and replaced overhead lighting with Dazor energy efficient lights creating rapid growth for Dazor’ company. Dazor also became the first fluorescent lamp manufacturer to combine technology of portable task light with fluorescent light bulbs. Displayed at the 1937 World's Fair by General Electric, the lamp quickly became popular among draftsmen and architects who found light offered better visibility than traditional incandescent.

Asking $275. Head on over to Booth #64 at Phoenix Flea Market in Old Hickory to purchase!
