Wow, that is really cool! It is like a retro pinhole Astro Baby with dimmer! Did you buy it? I am not familiar with the lamp.

To me it looks sort of like a Mathmos Astro Baby bottle too or a Lava Lite Elegant Enchantress bottle. The dimmer knob is a butt ugly touch and on the front of the base. But it's certainly a vintage lamp.

I did not buy this lamp I just stumbled on to a pic of it, would have bought it though.

How much did they want for it? I would have snapped it up. It looks like an export model to me or something produced under licence by Crestworth (1960s)

Might be Australian? Does it say Lockwood anywhere on the base?

I did not get to buy it Modulo so I don't have any more details other than the pic. This was a thrift store in NYC.

The dimmer looks like a home modification. Looks like they used one of the starlight holes in the base. If that knob could be replaced with a simple brass stem it would look much better. Makes me wonder if you can turn it up to 11.
