This upcycled lamp started life in 1952 as a
700ml
Automobile oil pourer. An oil can.
To put its 74 years of history into perspective, this piece is older than Disneyland, older than the modern McDonald’s franchise, and was around before the invention of the classic LEGO brick and the modern car seatbelt. It would go on to pour life juice into the iconic Ford Mustang.
A true survivor of mid-century utility, turned into a modern statement piece.
I have a few oil pourers, so if you would like one as a lamp, let me know.
