Repurposed Simplex Factory Timeclock / Punch Clock Lamp

Hey junkers and fans!  I recently finished a lamp that I've been wanting to put together for quite a while so I knocked it out the other day so satisfy the long urge.

It started with the wood base.  I pulled some board from some scraps and did a paint and distressing session on it.  Cleaning up the timeclock and crack it open came next.  It's pretty heavy and there's a good bit of gears inside.  It still has the original ink ribbon in there!

I knew I wanted to pair it with a vintage flashlight for the stem.  I've had this copper flashlight for a while -- just saving it for just the right project.  It was finally time.  To top things off, I used a large, vintage hand valve handle and a black plastic on/off valve.

This one along with the other seven might still be available either in the GADGETSPONGE ETSY SHOPor at Timeline Antiques & Collectibles Mall in Shreveport, LA.
