PERKO Hanging Electric Lamp / Marine Fixture

Profile picture for user Detective Bubblepipe

Description

Hello, I have had this Perko hanging electric lamp for over a year now, and in that time, I haven't been able to find out anything about it. I haven't even been able to find a picture of another one online. If it weren't for the original shipping box, I wouldn't know anything about it at all.

Some people convert Perko oil lamps into electric lamps, but thanks to the picture on the box, I know that this was never an oil lamp. This was an actual electric lamp that was manufactured and sold by Perko.  It is hard to read, but it looks like 1972 is the postmark date on the box. 

These details, plus info provided by my pictures is all I know. Any information about history, production run, rarity, value, helpful links and opinions would be highly appreciated!
