Description: Offered here is an extremely stylish Antique Bulkhead Light. This is very much an Art Deco shape , very similar to the lines on a big American Art Deco Car or Donald Campbell Bluebird Car . This was made by the esteemed maker Simpson Lawrence of Glasgow . It is a BulkHead Lamp or Navigation Light and has 3 coloured lenses , a Port, red light on the left , and a Starboard, green light on the right, and a Central white Masthead light . It is made of Cast metal and there is an impressed intertwined SL monogram , cast into the casing on each side of the light . The entire piece measures 8.5 inches in length x 4.75 inches wide , and it is nearly 4 inches tall. The piece appears complete , in that the casing and lenses are present . I am not sure how it was illuminated , but the centre is hollow . It is a heavy and substantial piece , it weighs 2390 grammes . I am not sure what metal the casing is cast in or what the function of everything was . There is a circular disc on the top which is made of Brass , this was held in place with 2 screws ( one is missing ) , and it is firmly in place . There are 4 fixing holes cast into the casing. The piece has wear to the metal and the glass lenses , albeit it would benefit from a good clean . We believe this is a RARE Marine or Maritime Antique , and probably dates to somewhere between 1920 and 1930 . It will appeal to Nautical and Shipping Collectors , or anyone interested in Memorabilia . This is offered with NO RESERVE . We do not know which vessel this came off , but it was sourced in St Ives in Cornwall . It could be restored and used again as originally intended , or it would make a fabulous feature as a lamp or simply an ornament in a Mancave or Marine Collection. This is a fabulous piece of quality Scottish Engineering to make this piece . Good Luck . ( Misc 430 )
