Title: Unknown Age / Branded Bakelite Night Light (Please ID)
Post by: iKokomo on June 28, 2015, 07:22:58 pm

I have an interesting question!

I bought a neat Univex Projector (1940s) with case at an estate sale and plugged into the pilot light AC port on the projector. I didn't know this was included with it until I got it home. I was wondering if someone could ID this? It seems to be bakelite and it has an art deco styling to it.

Thanks a lot!!

Neat !!  While I can`t tell who made it (there were many mfrs) it is certainly art deco style !! Probably late 30`s or early 40`s !!

These were VERY common in 1950's!  You would see them in brown or the cream/yellowing color.

They were made by many manufacturers.  Rodale, Eagle, GE, etc.
