Multi-arm Dugdills Factory Lamp
An incredible and rare multi-armed factory machinists lamp made in England by Dugdills. c.1930
In completely original condition with factory applied paint with the maker’s waterslide still present. Fully articulating, will require fixing down to a surface. Dugdills makers mark to base.
A much lesser seen lamp, and perhaps even rarer than the early ‘cog’ lamps!
Rewired with 1m of black round flex, replacement switched bulb holders and BS 3-pin plug.

About the maker
The company was formed in the late 19th century in Manchester by John Dugdill - an electrical engineer. Many of the lamps designed and produced by Dugdills graced workshop machinery such as lathes and illuminated workbenches in their thousands. Even so, they were made to last a lifetime of use and were designed to be beautiful. The earlier variants of Dugdills lamps feature a 'rosette' or 'cog' tightening wheel at the joint allowing the lamp to be locked into any position. Customers could request their lamps in a variety of finishes including painted, oxy-copper or nickel plated and brass.
