Vintage Emeralite H.G. McFaddin Adjustable Brass Desk Lamp Base & Arm – Parts / Restoration

Vintage ornate adjustable brass desk or banker's lamp base and arm assembly, attributed to the Emeralite line manufactured by H.G. McFaddin & Co. of New York during the early 20th century.  This distinctive assembly features a decorative square brass-covered base with a substantial cast-iron weight, an articulated rectangular brass arm, and adjustable swivel joints.

Manufacturer & Identification:

The assembly was identified as an Emeralite lamp base.  It was compared with a surviving Emeralite Model 8734 lamp and found to match closely, except for the use of a flat-head adjustment screw instead of a thumbscrew on the upper swivel.  The underside was inspected beneath the felt covering, revealing the cast-iron weight and central retaining screw. No manufacturer's markings or model numbers were found on the weight.  The exact model and compatibility with other Emeralite lamps are not guaranteed.

Construction & Features:

Condition:

Vintage pre-owned condition with cosmetic wear consistent with age and previous use.  All joints adjust properly by way of the tensioning screws shown.  The upper fitting is damaged and incomplete. The surviving upper connection has an irregular broken stub and will require repair, replacement, modification, or fabrication of appropriate components for restoration.  The underside felt covering has been detached for inspection of the cast-iron weight, but remains intact and can be glued back on.
