Personally I have no information to add other than I think people are dating this way older than it is. The torch part is 3 ft tall which is going to make for an interesting ship. I did highlight a particular joint I think I will separate to condense and save us a lot of money on shipping. Please note the tole work is bent peeling rusty dusty however I did plug it in and it works. There's even a neat little switch someone added. If this does not sell it's no bother to me, very shortly it will be hung on my wall. I do apologize for the color differential. I did have to take pictures of The Far Side from inside my closet, which was fun. I have an exceptional success rate at shipping have no fear even though it looks like it may fall apart it's actually pretty sturdy and the glass will be packaged with care even though it would be easily replaceable the latch to get into the bulb did not come with any type of locking pin so I improvised a Christmas ornament hook. I can't really think of anything else so if you have any questions just give me a shout.
