Eveready Table MasterLite

Eveready Table MasterLite patented in 1935

Eveready Table MasterLite patented in 1935

The Eveready Table MasterLite patented in 1935W3-18512 is a battery powered, two-light flashlight called an Eveready Table MasterLite patented by Everyready in 1935. Ours is in perfect working order! If you gently pull up on the white opal glass ball on the top, the light shines softly through it. If you pick up the light and look at the bottom, you’ll see light filtering through the flat lens. Our research indicates that these were often used by customers in restaurants to help read the menu and to summon the waiter. They were also used as regular flashlights as we know them today (just not as powerful). What a great piece of lighting history!

Bases that might have been tossed into a landfill are now whole again. Check out W7-10876 (an unusual diamond shaped table lamp), W10-09152 (a two-light table lamp with a trapezoid-shaped shade), W4-10972 (a gold-washed base with a blue drum-shaped shade), W11-08002 (a jadeite table lamp with a color-coordinated glass shade), W2-06110 (a beige jadeite table lamp with a color-coordinated glass shade), and several others!

Lighthouse table lamp

Two lighthouse lamps with slag glass shades

Two lighthouse lamps with slag glass shades

Old Lamps & Things is fortunate to have two lighthouse lamps with slag glass shades in mint condition! Lighthouse lamps, also known as silhouette lamps, became popular in the 1920s. Not only did they have light sockets under their slag glass shades, but they also had a light inside their slag glass bases. Some had separate switches to light the top and the bottom; others had one switch that operated both the top and the bottom. These lamps are still elegant in today’s world. We invite you to take a closer look at the two we currently have in stock: W2-11257 (which was fully restored before we bought it), and W3-11456 (which is in its original, mint condition). Either would make a statement in just the right setting.

This very unusual table lamp (W5-16450) has an Asian motif with a lighted base that has a red background behind a pagoda design. The base can be lit separately from the top, and music can be played when the lamp is in use. Just wind it up, and let it play!
