Description
HIGH GRADE:
DISNEY 1938 "GRUMPY" HAND-PAINTED PLASTER FIGURAL LAMP BASE WITH
SCARCE
"
ORIGINAL
HAND-PAINTED "SNOW WHITE" SHADE.
THE PLASTER BASE IS APPROXIMATELY 3 3/4" DIAMETER X 10" TALL TO THE TOP OF THE ELECTRICAL BULB SOCKET.
THE BASE AND HAND-PAINTED ACCENTS ON THE SAME ARE IN
OVERALL
EXCELLENT TO NEAR MINT
CONDITION WITH ONLY THE SLIGHTEST OF COSMETIC AND/OR CONSTRUCTION DISTRACTIONS.
DUE TO THE LAMP BASE SUBSTRATE BEING PLASTER GOES A LONG WAY IN EXPLAINING WHY THESE SETS ARE SO SCARCE TO FIND IN HIGH GRADE.
THE BASE HAS THE FOLLOWING INCISED AUTHENTICITY IMPRINT ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE SAME ADJACENT THE ELECTRICAL CORD(CLOSE-UP PHOTO REFERENCE PROVIDED):
(C)1938 W D ENT
THE LAMP SET WAS MANUFACTURED UNDER LICENSE AGREEMENT WITH DISNEY BY LA MODE STUDIOS OF NEW YORK. A PARTIAL LA MODE AUTHENTICITY LABEL IS STILL ATTACHED TO THE UNDERSIDE OF THE BASE(PHOTO REFERENCE PROVIDED).
THE HAND PAINTING IS
FANTASTIC
PROVIDING WONDERFUL DISPLAY QUALITIES.
THE SCARCE ORIGINAL LAMPSHADE IS IN OVERALL VERY GOOD CONDITION CONDITION WITH MINOR COSMETIC AND/OR CONSTRUCTION DISTRACTIONS(MOSTLY SOME SURFACE STRESS LINES WITH A COUPLE OF WHICH COME WITH PARTIAL TEARS ALONG WITH SOME TONING AREAS TO MOSTLY THE BACKSIDE). FOR AN 83-YEAR-OLD LITHOGRAPHED HEAVY PAPER STOCK-BASED LAMPSHADE TO HOLD UP AS WELL AS THIS EXAMPLE HAS IS PRETTY DARN GOOD!
THE LIGHT BULB METAL HOLDING BRACKET IS COMPLETE AND SOLID IN PLACE.
THE WONDERFUL GRAPHICS ON THE SHADE WITH ALL THE 7 DWARFS INTEGRATED WITHIN THE SAME ARE STILL QUITE VIVID OFFERING GREAT DISPLAY QUALITIES!
I HAVE INSERTED A "TEMPORARY" CARDBOARD INSERT THAT COVERS THE INSIDE OF THE SHADE PROVIDING FOR EXTRA SUPPORT FOR TRAVELING.
THE LINER CAN BE EASILY REMOVED AND THEN REPLACED IF DESIRED.
THE
LINER
SHOULD BE
REMOVED
IF THE LAMP IS GOING TO BE IN THE "
LIGHT ON
" POSITION FOR MORE THAN A FEW SECONDS TO PROTECT AGAINST POSSIBLE BURNING TO THE SAME.
IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO COME BY ANY OF THESE OLD ORIGINAL SNOW WHITE SERIES SHADES IN ANY CONDITION.
THE SHADE HAS THE FOLLOWING AUTHENTICITY IMPRINT IN BLACK ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE ROUND BASE AND READS AS FOLLOWS:
(C) 1938 WALT DISNEY ENTERPRISES
THE ELECTRICAL CORD AND PLUG ARE NEWER "VINTAGE" REPRODUCTION REPLACEMENTS INSTALLED BY MYSELF. THE ORIGINAL CORD WAS JUST NOT SAFE ENOUGH TO LEAVE CONNECTED TO THE LAMP. THE CORD PROBABLY HAD ASBESTOS IN THE SAME AS WELL.
PLEASE VIEW MY MANY ENCLOSED PHOTO REFERENCES FOR THE BEST TOOL TO USE IN DETERMINING THE FANTASTIC QUALITY OF THE PIECES THAT MAKE UP THIS WONDERFUL SET FOR YOURSELF.
A PICTURE IS STILL WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS................................................
