Mutual Sunset Lamp Company (M. S. L. C.)
Table Lamp with Nightlight
1930s Art Moderne, Modernist, Machine Aesthetic Design. Could be attributed to designer Gilbert Rohde who designed lamps for this company in the 1930s.
He designed over 35 lamps for this company and many were not documented.
Chrome (or Nickle) Plated with a Cream-colored Milk Glass Center.
Original Cloth Cord. Original Bakelight? plastic On/Off switch for the nightlight.
Adjustable shade holder with original finial.
Dimensions: 20 inches to 21 1/2 inches high; 4 1/2 diameter at the base. 9 inches high to the top of the glass/chrome base.
Weight: About 3 pounds, 14 ounces on a Postal Scale.
Condition: Mint to Very Good. All original parts (except for the shape) appear intact and in working order, including the pull chains and switch. All lamp sockets are in working order. I have not tried to clean the chrome---appears to have some minor surface issues (see photographs). Heavy base has a dull, matte finish as opposed to the chrome, banded rings at the top and the bottom of the glass center section. Original cords and interior fittings. One interior area seems to have been covered in electrical tape for safety.
Signed: M.S.L.C. D1600 on the bottom of the base.
The Roxy Theatre in Lockport, Illinois is one of many theatres that bear the name. Each one is a small testament to the enduring power of the grand New York movie palace that popularized it.
Interestingly, the current use of this theatre (as of January of 2012) seems to be a nightclub. While that's not an uncommon new purpose for theatres, this one is unusual in that it tries to provide a safe place to socialize for people with mental illnesses from nearby treatment centers. Here's an article about the program: www.voanews.com/content/illinois-nightclub-caters-to-ment...

Saint-Merri | Place Georges-Pompidou
The Centre National d’Art et de Culture Georges-Pompidou (CNAC) was designed in the style of high-tech architecture to host a library, a museum of modern art and a centre for music and accoustic research.

1971-77.
If I were to open a business in Shelbyville, Illinois, I'm pretty sure I'd want it to be in this building. The black vitrolite and glass block are particularly snazzy, and the Longbranch Grill is right next door.
UPDATE: The Vitrolite has been replaced with some kind of tacky pressed-aluminum surface. It's awful. The building on the right is looking a lot nicer these days, though.

This house is located on Central Coast of California where there are a surprising number of moderne streamline homes, apartments, and businesses. This home is a one-story, 1050 sq foot home with 2 bedrooms and 1 bath.
Art Deco House on Halmer Gate, Spalding. The best example of Moderne, with some streamline features, in town in my humble opinion. Strikingly beautiful. There is a purer streamline moderne house in Neville Avenue, but in spite of the pitched roof I think this one is prettier. Has now been remodelled but still looks great: bigger garage now.

LMS Princess Coronation Class 6229 Duchess of Hamilton is back in her full streamlining, and was the one reason that I returned to the NRM.
The Princess Coronation class engines were hugely powerful, packing more horses than almost every diesel train until the HST arrived. Like Bulleid, Stanier didn't particularly approve of streamlining except for the ease of washing the engine; it made it heavier, use more coal and water, made it harder to get at the components, and offered debateable aerodynamic advantages. But this was 1937 and everything had to be streamlined. Even the headlamps were streamlined with rakish trails.

In een moderne omgeving, de Heer Bokelweg bij de Schiekade. Bij de museumritten op 2 mei was Delmez-motorwagen 220 uit 1924 de 'ster van de dag', maar Düwag 273 mag er als krasse zestigjarige toch ook best zijn.

Nachdem die DB die Ausschreibung des Dresdner S-Bahn Netzes gewonnen hat, kehren ein paar Veränderungen auch in das Elbtal. Die S-Bahnlinie S1 Meißen - Schöna wird auf rückspeißende Drehstromloks umgestellt. 10 der 25 Loks der Baureihe 182 von DB Schenker sollen fest nach Dresden gelangen. Doch dafür benötigen die Loks ein Nahverkehrspaket. Bis alles soweit ist helfen 145er von DB Schenker Rail auf dieser Linie aus.
