This three arm task lamp makes a perfect centerpiece to use on a study table or large room where you need subtle lighting . Shades can be turned upwards for total indirect ambient lighting or turned down for direct focal lighting. A unique design combining industrial rawness with elegant simplicity.
A.G.C has made its own line of adaptable and articulating heavy gauge steel lamps. Every light is hand made and unique. Parts are welded, machined, punched, and finished at our studio. The lamp is tough and hard wearing to last years to come. The 6-10-12 is named after the proportions-- arms 6" 10" and 12" make up the main body.
The arms and shades can be articulated to many different positions and the shades can be turned down for direct lighting or upwards for indirect ambient lighting. Take a look at our multiple arm configurations listed. Comes in raw steel that is finished in wax to protect the surface from oxidation.
Dimensions variable—as shown: 9.5” base to center ring —Lamp overall height approximately 30” but variable depending on how you configure each arm.
This vintage 3M pelvis phantom was used by a retired X-ray technician and was in his personal collection for many years. These models are used in training and X-ray positioning and calibration. They allow students as well as technicians to run actual tests without exposing the patient. These are such great teaching tools because the student will get an actual X-ray and get familiar with the process before working on a patient.
I gave the piece a good cleaning and buff polish. It has age old scuffs and wear that you would expect for a piece that has been used since the 1960’s. I show what this piece looks like in various light conditions—natural light and a spot light from above. If this piece is displayed with a light above it glows and is a rather dramatic display. It changes throughout the day with different light and the way it travels through the resin is reminiscent of an old classical grecian statue.

This wind tunnel model is unusual in that it has the original mounting bar that they used as they were creating the aircraft. From what I have researched it is most likely an X-type model prototype. The model is made of steel and aluminum with signs of bondo type sculpting compound used to shape certain areas as they were testing the aerodynamics. The mounting bar has all the small wires that were attached to the craft to collect data. This model is most likely from the late 1950’s—quite a heavy piece the model and base together weighs 85 lbs. I have acquired other wind tunnel testing components listed separately. All of these came from a collector and were acquired from NASA AMES wind tunnel testing facility.

The Great Egret cyanotype is printed on heavyweight watercolor paper and has a light color tint to warm up the sky. The work is part of the cyanotype series that are currently on display at the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum. This work is priced unframed but if you need custom framing let us know —we do in house framing.

Very cool graphically and with lens demonstrations of how glasses get processed. The lens display is on a thick cardboard that would most likely be on a counter at an eyeglass place. The last inspections slot we added a 1940’s Galenski prosthetic for extra visual effect. Looks good to us. Measures: 13.5” H x 10” W
This simple lamp is made from various parts— a cast iron base with adjustable stem, aluminum arm with brass pivoting head, and a raw steel parabolic shade. The base has three holes where you can mount this to a table or a wall. An extra long braided cord is provided if you want to hang this up high on a wall to light art or sculpture. The body has screws that can adjust the stem higher than shown approximately 4”+. The head can pivot the shade and you can adjust this in many ways. It is a useful lamp to set up in a fixed position as this body came from an industrial sewing fabricator where lamps were set in a fixed position , yet it can be adjusted easily to various positions if needed.
Measures as shown: 12” H base to top of stem—top of shade to end of pole 26.5”
A curious little chrome cube with the subtle Solvay Pharmaceuticals on the front. Comes with a little spring arm and clip to hold something for you. Cube is a little over an inch square and has a height of around 4.5”
