sweet lamp! it's older than my GE F14T12/D from the mid 50s since this has older brass endcaps. I'd say this is from the 40s-early 50s. Very Happy

Do you plan to shine up the brass to put it back into its original condition? That'd look AWESOME! Shocked

I think someone on LG said it was from 1945, very nice lamp!

Watch out for the beryllium phosphors though. Shocked

im gonna leave it as is.. polishing a collectible like this is not really a good idea. I am uploading video of this as i speak. I am AMAZED that a 1945 lamp still works!!

This is an AMAZING lamp. Brass endcaps, 1945. My oldest lamp :)
