Huge Vintage 1950s Blenko Modern Glass Lamp W/ Original Finial Wood Base For Sale
fantastic vintage modern abstract 1950s enormous Blenko glass lamp
online we found it in the Blenko Archives in the 1956 catalog ..............
everything is original.................. the glass finial, the glass rod, the adjustable harp , the wood base, the felt bottom, the cord, plug, etc
the felt has the Blenko stamp on it, but it is illegible (we know that is the stamp as we have had this same lamp in green many years ago )
the glass is as clean as the day it was blown...........................no fogginess, no film, no water marks, no dust
no chips, no nicks,s
base is 2" thick wood
as the harp is adjustable .......................... this lamp measures up to 45 3/4" tall, down to 42 3/4" tall ; widest diameter is 8 3/4"
glass section only is 27 1/4" finial is 3 1/2" tall including stem and about 2 1/8" in diameter
TEN TIMES BETTER IN PERSON .......its gleaming ................there is the single signature ellipse and lots of cool waves in the glass.........this is all original to the blowing process
it weighs 16 POUNDS UNWRAPPED ! due to the adjustable harp, it will accept a variety of shade sizes.................
*************SHADES SHOWN ARE NOT INCLUDED (it was found with the original taller one, but we also show it with a narrow one as well ) (sorry, you will have to find a shade on your own , it would cost more to ship one than its worth )
THIS HAS TO BE DOUBLE BOXED............................THE PACKAGE IS GOING TO BE ENORMOUS, THERE IS NOTHING WE CAN DO ABOUT SHIPPING COSTS ..................THEY GO BY WEIGHT, SIZE AND ARE NOT PULLED OUT OF A HAT
LUCKY WINNER PAYS UPS INSURED POST
the other things we must mention :
we use the shipping calculator as a close guideline only
the cost will NOT be more than stated, but may be LESS
the EXACT cost will be given to you at the end of sale ..once we have a precise shipping address and the item has been completely packaged
so
if you remit any form of payment before receiving OUR invoice with the CORRECT shipping from us ( once we have your address and the item is packaged)....then whatever came up with is what you will be charged ....
......................now that has unfairly changed its response policy, sorry but our only recourse is to report non paying buyers on day 6 .... we expect personal contact via the buyer within s policy of 2 days or less
folks we are not robots over here, communication means a lot to us ...and is important in all forms of relationships !
THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO ACTUALLY READ THIS ..
& READ OUR response as well ...we are 1 of the GOOD GUYS ....
At this time WE SHIP TO THE U.S.A ONLY , (lower 48 for this item)
The LONG and WINDING ROAD of SMALL PRINT sorry to vent here folks but this needs to be said ....for all sellers, not just us
those little stars they ask you click ...well those are important as to our seller "scores" .....and if they are judged unfairly by you ...NOT ONLY do they harm the excellent reputation that we strived so hard to obtain and retain but also .. BASES the SELLERS FINAL FEE COSTS on that system ....including the ones sellers have no power to change ALSO NOW CHARGES THE SELLER 9 % OF SHIPPING COSTS.....EVEN THOUGH ANY HONEST SELLER DOES NOT MAKE A DIME FROM SHIPPING..... IN FACT...........FIGURE IN PACKAGING SUPPLIES, TIME, GAS and the HONEST SELLER loses a LOT of $$$$$$$$$$$ ...............especially the ones like us .... who sell larger items such as furniture / lighting / etc
we don't "create" shipping costs ..that is done by UPS & USPS hey ..... if we could afford to offer free shipping we would ....but we already spend between 4 & 5 grand a year just on packing supplies so that your items arrive safely!
so ...... ...... WE ASK YOU PLEASE ...... be honest, be considerate...before you "push those buttons" .... & IF THERE IS A PROBLEM .....CONTACT US...WE WILL WORK IT OUT .... ...our no return policy is not set in stone item not as described??? ...well ....we show 10 - 35 images with giant arrows pointing at any flaws we feel not only need to be mentioned...but also pointed out visually ...... because its only a rare few that actually read the descriptions & small print ....
lack of communication??...won't be from our end ... we are usually here at the computer 7 days a week .....
shipping time?? ..... slow shipping won't be due to laxidaziness on our part .......because my husband wraps and ships packages 5 DAYS A WEEK ..... instead of just once or twice a week like most sellers
the rest
#1: After the sale: BUYER IS EXPECTED TO MAKE CONTACT WITHIN 2 DAYS OF sales END…BUYER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYMENT WITHIN 6 DAYS OF sales END; is our livelihood and we take it very seriously; we ask only that you treat our sales as you would any respectable place of business, and we will do the same for you!
#2: LAMP WILL BE SHIPPED via UPS INSURED
#3: WE PREFER the "old fashioned" transactions that do not involve plastic ; (if a bank accepts it so do we ...we are not being evasive, states the actual use of the words to describe those methods are forofferden .... not joking)
but
if you are heartset on using a credit card , ...... automatically has Propay set up in the payment invoice...you do not have to join anything, you do not have to pay any fees..........we do ..............also... for the first time since 2008 , we are once again accepting paypal on a regular basis (although it is NOT our preference)
#4: WE ARE NOT A FREE STORAGE UNIT : ************** ANY ITEMS NOT PICKED UP AFTER 30 DAYS OF sales END WILL NO LONGER BE OUR RESPONSIBILITY, UNLESS ARRANGEMENTS ARE MADE WITH THE BUYER .................... PRIOR TO PURCHASE.................. & WELL IN ADVANCE OF THE ENDED LISTING

#4a: We do Not allow local pick up except for extremely LARGE items like furniture , sorry ...we do not have a shop , we sell only on and at sale houses, not out of our home .........
#5 : REFUND POLICY: PLEASE EMAIL WITH ANY QUESTIONS ; WE SELL VINTAGE, NOT NEW , vintage items, are just that .... vintage....and are not going to be mint , because there is no such thing as mint when something is 25 - 75 years young !
