This is one of the coolest lamps I have ever seen. I do recommend rewiring as I do with all vintage lamps. The red globe does light up, however they had to high wattage of a bulb in it and it turned the wire black.
I would put a small bulb in the red globe part. Please see photo's for details. I do have two of these listed so if you are interested in two shoot me a message. Thank you for looking at my listing. Please reach out to us with any questions or concerns and we will get back to you as soon as possible. Thank you for shopping small and supporting our business!
