Try to find a pair! 97 Years old and Working!!! Rare in any Condition! Working order, see photos! Extremely Scarce 1928 Ives Boulevard 1882 Lamp Post. Both have been tested and are in working order. Both lamps are mottled and have crazing at bases. 1 light bulb is out but will include an extra repop. Looks like a small clear spot of clear enamel near the crazing line on one of the bases.. But i could be wrong. Either way both shafts are structurally strong and are still being held together originally. 1 bulb sits in socket a little crooked but can be fixed to be straight if you take the socket out and reposition it. Please look at all pics and judge condition for yourself. If you need anymore photos please ask. Very tough to find!
