The item is sold as is, as found and as you see it. The sale is for a Lowenbruau statue lamp. The lion lamp is how I found it. I have never seen one of these in a lamp form. Could have been somebody made this into a lamp. The item could have been company made into a lamp. I would think then, a rare find. Good condition with age related issues. lamp works. Brass ish colored metal socket, metal is worn in places. There is metal and wood under socket. Metal could have wear and darkened by tarnish and age coloring. The wood is dirty, unvarnished, aged and a few nicks. Has a small vertical crack line in top part of wood. The lion may have had a stein in one hand and maybe plastic whiskers. He seems some type of plastic with some plaster inside his cavity and a pulp paper underside. He is age colored, dirty; some embedded. Wear in the white of face and the whisker holes. White nicks on right hand in the knuckles. He's probably antiqued in a brown finish color to give him an aged look with depth. The wear can be hard to determine and how to tell dirt from the antiquing. Theres blue stuff to the right of tongue in the mouth. Right eye is orange, the other is red. A former owner may have colored it, or a kid, who knows? May be cleanable. The underside has a pulp paper tht has an antiqued coloring. There seems like a type of fracture line in paper near one of the legs. I believe this was a company piece, by underside and no base. He may have a plastic crock in right foot bottom or a molding flaw. He may have a musty smell; may have been stored in an attic. Heavy for size. Awesome item. May have other issues not mentioned but mentioned most significant. See all pics for they are part of description. Bottom to top of socket; 17". Lion is 11.25" X 5" X 7.25".
