Unique light object made from 23 original valves removed from Harley-Davidson WLA Flatheads from 1942. WLA's were the American military motorcycles in World War II, also known as "Liberators" or "The bike that won the war". After the Americans left, they left them all over Europe, which led to a brisk trade in these motorcycles. I was part of this business back then and was able to collect these valves for over 30 years.
Due to the finite nature of my valve collection, this light object is limited - this model is number 5 of 10. Slight changes from model to model can occur with regard to the lamp base and the front panel. The lamp has an incredible lighting effect (continuously dimmable) and is an eye-catcher at all of my exhibitions and events.
