Design Otis C. White, 1883
Steel, brass
Made in Massachusetts
In 1883 Dr. Otis C. White, a dental surgeon from Hopkinton, Massachusetts, obtained the first of many patents for his adjustable joints, which included a dental head rest and a universal ball and socket joint. These inventions garnered numerous technological awards, including The John Scott Medal (awarded by the Franklin Institute), and the “Gold”, “Silver”, and “Honorable Mention” medals at the 1893 Pan American Exposition (precursor to the World’s Fair). These same universal ball and socket joints can still be found in use today in various “Machine Lite” products in the O.C. White line.
This lamp comes rewired in black cloth cord and a new plug. This lamp was used in a machine shop on the east coast.
