Desk lamp

category: household
family_branch: Cardinal_Alton_Beatrice
provenance: purchased for Alton Cardinal 1931, household of Alton Cardinal, then household of Peter Cardinal
notebook_reference: OldThings.html#lamp

Desk Lamp

Flexible (goose neck) study lamp was purchased for my use when I enrolled at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, in September 1931. The dark green color was chosen to harmonize with the green stained dormitory furniture. For two school years I lived in Room 202, Tarrant House, Adams Hall on the university campus.

The lamp was used by me during four student years and subsequently in all the various roominghouses until I entered the army in March of 1941. After the war it continued as part of our household, but was not used so much. During the past few years it has served as an auxillary shop light in the basement.

The electrical cord was replaced once.
