An authentic, hard-to-source, Maine cedar wood lobster trap buoy marker that we have converted into a coastal-designed nautical table lamp. This buoy is a tapered, round example and retains the original, light orange-red and white painted surface. Minor shrinkage crack on two sides of the buoy and expected wear and losses from actual age and lobstering use. The cotton line is an old replacemenThe number "6191" is carved into the bottom and one side of the buoy.
These are authentic, old, seaworn lobster buoys, retaining a wonderful, aged painted surface, now repurposed as a nautical/coastal table lamp. The original buoy handle was cut offand is now tied onto the table lamp.Stands 18 inches tall to the top of the shade (as shown), and 6 inches widest diameter. Weighs 5 pounds.
Perfect for your Maine camp and traditional New England coastal home. Use them as a lighting source for your living room, study, home office and also as a bedside table lamp!
We purchased a collection of these lobster trap buoy markers from a retired lobsterman (F.E.Young) who fished out of Spruce Head, South Thomaston, Maine.
