This adjustable desk lamp is something a roommate left behind awhile ago, It has a sturdy base and uses a halogen bulb, so pretty bright. Because the bulb is halogen, it gets pretty warm. I wouldn't recommend it for a younger curious kid. Other than that, anyone that needs a lamp can use it,
When I did an image search on the lamp, Google said it resembled a mid-century German design, It looks nice, but I'm pretty sure it's not any kind of collector's item.
If you pick up this lamp at Ryland Mews, I can show you that is works,
