Candlestick Phone Lamp/Lighter

[magicbrain]

I bought this candlestick phone lamp/cigarette lighter a few weeks ago (I guess it's not an atrocity if you buy it ) - it was very professionally modified/constructed & is painted beautifully in dark gold with black accents rather like the "Old Brass" used on the 200 series - other than a few tiny paint nicks, some dust & fraying cord cover it is great condition - will post more pictures when I get a chance.
I'll need to keep an eye out for a suitable shade for it.

Well, if they gotta do it...
at least it was done very well.
looks like an ash tray on the bottom???
Gift for a smoker?

Glad to see it has the power switch on the lampholder.
I have a lamped (is that a word?) GPO 150 candlestick that came to me with the bulb switched with the hookswitch.
I very rapidly sorted that, as passing 240V AC through a switch specified for 50VDC / 75VAC didn't seem like a very clever thing to do.

It is now...lol
Dude, I got tired of my candle just sitting there, so I lamped it. Now it has a purpose!
Crud, now all the ......reality shows are gonna be lookin for candles to REPURPOSE!!!
Oh, the Horror! lol
Maybe, if we can keep this sort of abuse on the downlow, it might not catch on... we can only hope.

My reply a bit off topic, lamped is a word, it means to be hit. I haven't a clue where its origin lies though.

E.g. "He was annoying me so I lamped him one".

Come to think of it I have heard that term before.
If it means 'beaten-up' then yes, some of these poor phones have been lamped!
