From 1920s this General Electric company searchlight were used to light the facades of buildings and on ships to light the dark ways. Every parts are built with copper and brass fittings so it would not rust. This model is fitted with a French cast iron base which rolls on three pads. The head is fitted with a four-way Benjamin splitter so it takes four E27 bulbs. There is a little crack in the reflector but does not affect the function. One and only piece.
