The Chicago Typewriter — the drum-magazine M1928 Thompson, standing full height.

Hand-built in Boise, Idaho from a 1:1 scale authentic metal replica with real wood stock, foregrip and grip, and the iconic drum magazine. Built on an authentic Denix replica (made in Spain), hand-wired and assembled in the USA with American-made internal lamp components — solid steel base and pole, industrial-grade trigger switch, premium socket and wiring. Every weld, every wire, done entirely by hand.

The original trigger operates the on/off switch. Pull it. The light comes on.

This isn't a novelty. It's a conversation piece, a collector's item, and a functional work of industrial art — built to the same weight, finish, and detail as the real thing.

What makes it one of a kind:
— Authentic 1:1 scale metal replica with real wood stock, foregrip and grip
— Iconic drum magazine
— Trigger-operated on/off switch — industrial micro switch rated for 500,000 actuations
— Solid steel base and pole
— Black porcelain lamp holder rated for 100W max
— Edison-style filament bulb and shade harp included

Height: 52 inches | Base width: 10 inches

Every piece is built by hand, so heights can vary by an inch or so from one build to the next.

Made to order — built by hand in 3–4 weeks. Each lamp is unique. Lead times may vary, but you'll hear from me every step of the way. Every lamp is double-boxed and professionally packed with reinforced foam to ensure it arrives in perfect condition.

Due to the size and weight of this piece (40 lbs, ships in a 61 inch box), shipping is $75 flat for this lamp on all domestic orders.
