Printing Roller
Posted in equipment on 03/31/2009 02:29 am by adminLate 1800's to early 1900's wall paper printing rollers.?
In the 1960's a gentelman by the name of Jess Little, on Telegraph Ave. in Oakland, CA. made lamps out of discarded wall paper rollers he bought in Canada. He took these rollers (42" long) and cut them in half and made 1 pair of lamps. He manufactured about 50 pair total.
My question is, are any still around and does any body know where I might find some of these vintage rollers?
You know what your chances are of finding one of these rare lamps that are in limited supply? Pretty small, I'd say. Have you tried looking in antique or vintage furnitiure stores in the Oakland, California area? That's probably your best bet. Good luck--you're going to need it. 
P.S. - There are presently two lamps made out of vintage rollers--NOT made by Jess Little--for sale on eBay at the present moment. Item number: 190080230014. You might want to check it out. You have 7 days and approximately 8 hours to place a bid. Starting bid is $45.
P.S.S. - It's a bit unclear. Are you looking for the lamps or the just the rollers?
