Train TV Lamps

It is rare to find a TV lamp in the form of a locomotive, which only adds value to them. The example by Claes is particularly treasured.

	The locomotive TV lamp pictured here says "Stanford Line" on the side. Otherwise it is unmarked. A better view of the Stanford marking can be seen on an identical (except for the color and absence of electrics) locomotive planter. Photos courtesy of Joel & Tammy Webster of Interlochen, Michigan.
	Here's the right side (back) of the locomotive lamp.
	A look at the top shows the push-button switch that is fitted to the locomotive, as opposed to the more common twist type.
	A departure from his usual animal motifs, this train is a very rare Claes design. Photos courtesy of Ron from Orange County, California.
	From this angle the train seems to be coming and going! Claes employed a bas-relief style on this lamp, creating an illusion of depth.
