I Love VINTAGE and finding new/multiple ways to use old items.
Been making and peddling stuff basically since I was a kid.
One of my favorite junk items to work with is metal lamp parts.
You can make SOO many things with Lamp parts.
Honored to have been published in several of the Stampington Magazines. To see more of my work or find out what shows I will be selling at, visit my blog...www.lisaloria.blogspot.
One Mans junk is another Girls Treasure.

Happy Hunting!!!

Very cool Jim. I wouldn't part with it either.
I have LOADS of old plugs/cords/sockets, trying to never throw anything away and re-use every bit.
Too bad you are on the opposite side if the country.
I'd let you dig through them.
