Description

Vintage Good-Lite Shooting Star Bubble Lights with Box   These lights contain rare "Shooting Star" viles (bubbles rise and fall) and are in working order; see individual light descriptions below (left of the image to right).   I test all lights individually with a 9-volt battery; to test sets, I always use a dimmer to bring the lights up to half intensity.   The box is taped and most of it is present; the lid is still attached; the lid is missing approx. 30% of the side flaps.   LIGHTS  1. relamped, clip upside-down, good condition 2. relamped, slightly low in fluid- from manufacturer*, very slight warpage of blue base, neck of lower blue section was broken-not noticeable when in socket, fair condition 3. relamped, very small nick in neck of lower red section, excellent condition 4. relamped, clip of copper-not original, excellent condition 5. relamped, very small nick in neck of lower red section, excellent condition 6. relamped, very small nick in neck of lower green section, excellent condition 7. relamped, excellent condition 8. relamped, clip upside-down, good condition   *From my understanding of this point of history, it was common for some tubes to be filled at different levels.   CHECK OUT MY OTHER AUCTIONS THIS WEEK; THERE IS MORE VINTAGE CHRISTMAS!     below is my fine print; if you don’t agree, please do not bid.   definitions of terms I use •         collectibles: things which people decide to collect (new or old) •         vintage: items 30 to 100 years old; I will try to give a date or era with the word •         antiques: anything 100 years or older •         excellent condition: no flaws were found prior to shipping •         good condition: the item is in working order with minimal flaws; these flaws are documented in the listing and possibly photographed •         fair condition: the item needs repair or has flaws; again, these flaws are documented in the listing and possibly photographed •         “as-is” condition: the item needs cleaning, polishing, or minor repair   description •         Please ask questions before you bid; I will do my best to answer your questions. •         I am not an expert; if you notice any errors in my listing, please email and I will revise the listing or drop and relist it. •         Please use your sound judgment when considering the items I am selling; if you have doubts, do not bid.
