Condition/Comments: 18” diameter x 6-1/2”d. This spinner light looks like it was built to last—and it has. The coated red case is heavy duty with no signs of abuse or damage. It has a patina of age but no markings of note. The face is equally well preserved, with all aspects good as new. Close inspection of the face indicates that this piece was likely painstakingly painted by hand as all the markings have the imprecise look of hand work. The piece may even be signed at the bottom by the craftsman who worked on it. When plugged in, the effect is truly engaging. The perforated disk behind the glass spins and, as the unlit portions pass the openings of the painted face, create the illusion that the border is spinning. Incredible piece!
