Retro 1940s - 1950s vintage, mid-century deco adjustable wall sconce, Moe Light

Retro mid-century ( late 1940s or early 1950s ) machine-age deco adjustable wall sconce / desk light with the remains of the original "Moe Light" label decal. The Moe Light company (originally "Moe Brothers") was founded in Fort Atkinson, WI by the Moe brothers after they left the Moe Bridges lighting company in Milwaukee. Renamed to Moe Light in the late 1940s, the company was bought out and became Thomas Industries in 1953. So because of the Moe Light decal, this desk light dates from the late 1940s and very early 1950s, the heyday of mid-century designers like Charles and Ray Eames.

This light has keyhole slots on the back to hang on the wall and the light head will swing out from the wall. It measures about 20" across the light head. This is in very nice vintage condition and works great!
