Additional Notes & Condition Report
one of the two lug nuts located on the side of the swivel shade is detached but present; the detached lug nut can be put back into place, however, it does not thread properly and is now too loose to properly function; the light socket is a later replacement the two exterior turtle back tiles and two inter white colored glass tiles appear to be in generally good condition; the lamp appears to be in generally good condition the lamp appears to retain its original on/off switch; there is also a on/off pull chain that is part of the replaced light socket; the socket has not been tested to see if it is in good working condition however, it is presumed so; ther is wear, rubbing and dulling to the patina, which is a mottled green and chocolate color, but mostly green; has been rewired and the cord is now fraying; there is a detached light socket that accompanies this lot, presumably, the original light socket, which is now mounted into a later gold-colored mount (has a ball pull).
