This very rare fluorescent fixture was manufactured by VEB Metallwaren-werk, and was mainly used in the lighter industry of East Germany. It originates from the beginning of the DDR era, and is, together with the ‘Red Deer‘ and the ‘Moose‘, the oldest fluorescent fixture within our collection. It comprises a cast-aluminium housing with a horizontal bar connecting the two aluminium ends that hold the tube.
ORIGIN
The fixture was found in the main building on the terrain of one of the largest laboratories in East Germany. After WWII this lab was part of the soviet military administration, and became a state-owned companies until the reunification in the early nineties. Together with several others this lamp illuminated the rest rooms of the laboratory.
