Titled "The Spirit of the American Doughboy", he is lighting the way for the rest of the world. This is an original American Doughboy lamp by E.M. Viquesney, and memorializes the WWI American soldier. This lamp was made in Americus, GA between 1921 and 1925, is extremely rare and in excellent, excellent condition. These lamps were made from a soft white metal with either tin or lead, making them very soft and subject to damage. Most of these lamps that are still around are in very poor condition because of this. This one is great except for the end of his rifle. It has broken off. I do have the broken piece minus the small attached bayonet. There may also be a small nut missing on the back where the cord goes into it. The lamp does still work. It stands approximately 14" tall to the top of the socket. (Not including the bulb)
