This is a vintage Karl Griesbaum German Black Forest Hobo Street Lamp.  It is a hand-carved, hand painted all wood table lamp with a brown wood base in the style of Black Forest craftsmanship. This lamp features the original beige power cord. The owner purchased this in 1972 in Germany, this unique piece showcases intricate carving and is designed in the form of a hobo street lamp.
