They were only used for a short period of time after WW2 when aluminium was still in short supply. The brown bakelite proved easy to mould but often cracked in transit. This lamp does have a repaired crack in the bakelite which does not detract from the overall appearance of the lamp.  As well as having the very scarce bakelite shade, the flex wires in the upper arms have side exit holes rather than the usual rear exit holes - see photograph.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0303\/5122\/8972\/files\/IMG_3645_240x240.jpg?v=1616679568\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFitted with a modern UK plug to ensure that it is electrically safe and energy efficient.
