Seller Listing Title:  "Stromberg Carlson "oil can" taper shaft candlestick"
Condition:  "Used"
Condition Qualifier:  " - - - "

Listing Description:  "Stromberg-Carlson tapered shaft "oil can" Candlestick - BLACK -- All the ones I have seen are in nickel plate over brass, but this is 100% original BLACK over brass - RARE(?) -- I have checked all black areas with a magnet, and definitely BRASS. As found original condition.   No restoration done other than light cleaning. All "guts" are in the base. Spring hook works great. Has all the correct knurled nuts including the large one between the perch and the transmitter cup (see photos).
Cup is marked.   Face plate is plain. Has correct brass-bottom receiver, with patent dates. Receiver shell in perfect condition. Bakelite receiver cap has 1 small chip (see photo @ 12 o'clock position). Mouthpiece in excellent condition, no chips in rim or threads.
Original receiver and line cords, in good condition, some fraying. Line cord has original tips and tie-down strap. See photos. All parts appear to be in tact, but no warranty as to "working". As you can see in photo, the wooden base-cover is partially missing, but what is left, IS ORIGINAL."
