Vintage 50s 60s Plasto Chalkware Lamp Plastic Shades Mid Century Modern Atomic

Item: For your consideration we are presenting for sale a rare vintage table lamp with its original accompanying shades manufactured by Plasto Manufacturing. Circa '50s / '60s. The lamp base is heavy - looks to be constructed of a plaster-like material with a textured surface. The shades are plastic, and each one is constructed of two removable parts that are held in place by three brass metal pins - the inner shade is smooth, off-white in color and cylindrical, while the outer shades have a rippled appearance, are also plastic, and they have gold sparkles throughout. The lamp has three-way functionality - either one or the other of the two sockets can be lit independently of the other, or a third twist of the rotary knob can allow both sockets to be lit at the same time. The on/off rotary knob is embedded into the side of the base. The lamp is signed Plasto Mfg on the back side of the base close to where the electrical cord comes out (see last photo). Additional photos can be made available upon request.

Measurements: With the shades attached, the lamp stands approx. 30.5" tall x 17" wide x 6" deep (measured at the base). The inner smooth portion of the shade measures approx. 11" tall x 4" in diameter, while the outer ruffled portion of the shade measures approx. 7.5" tall x 5" in diameter.

The shades are free from chips, cracks, breaks, discoloration, burn marks, etc. The electrical wiring appears to be original to the lamp, and it is in good condition - no frays, splits, exposed wires, etc. The lamp is in fully-functioning, working order.

If you are located out-of-state and wish to purchase the lamp, we have no problem packaging it for shipping, but be advised that the shipping will be fairly expensive (somewhere in the ballpark of $125-$175) as the base would have to be double-boxed, and the shades would have to be shipped separately in their own parcel.
