Christmas Story Leg Lamp - It's ''Fragile''!






 
What says Christmas more than a genuine leg lamp direct from the house in Ohio where the movie was shot.  What I like most about this particular artifact is its multi-position functionality.  It can be off.  The top light can be on.  Both the top light and the leg can be on, and you can have just the leg on.  We have found the top light on position is great for reading, while the leg on feature provides great mood lighting.  The leg lamp is also very portable, by simply unplugging and moving to your favorite front window to display for all of the neighbors to enjoy..............like at my house.  This is one of the few pieces that we actually keep in our home, outside of the museum itself.  (Yes, we have special insurance)  This item has one small defect, otherwise it would be perfect.  The cat decided to play with the fishnet hose, and a small section is torn just around the ankle. (Not illustrated in the website photos, but can be seen if you visit the museum)  We have found through the years its almost impossible to prevent damage to rare articles of excellence.  Enjoy...............We still say Merry Christmas here at The Tacky Museum.  So, Merry Christmas!
