One Of A Kind PROTOTYPE Mid Century MG Wheeler Sight Light HAND SIGNED By Designer

Winning Bid
$195.00
Item #126585
Lot #1 of 199
Item Description

This is a wonderful piece for the true collector. This early mid century MG Wheeler sight light is a prototype version, hand signed on the bottom of the shade by Earl Canfield who was the designer of this iconic lamp. It is written in pencil, 'Approved sample of grey finish, approved by E.L Canfield 2/16/50' and is addressed to someone in Manchester CT.

There is some normal age wear, patina and paint loss around the rim but the fact that this unique piece is around and in as good of condition as it is is remarkable.
It doesn't have the Wheeler Sight Light stamp on the bottom as that company wasn't incorporated for a few months after this piece was signed but I added a photo of the stamp to show Earl Canfield's name.
14" tall.
