[Station X]

I reckon I know where it came from more or less. Around 1980 my father bought quite a lot of stuff from a Norwich shoe factory which was closing down. There was certainly a lathe, now owned by my brother, and several sewing machine motors. I reckon this stand formed part of the same lot.

I think the rest of the lamp ended up screwed to the wall above his work bench. I will have a look at some old pictures and see if I can confirm this. Alas it was left behind when the house was sold.
