The Banker's Lamp


It's simple. Any man with a banker's lamp on his desk means business.

Whether you're an executive, unemployed, or anything in between you will feel like a hot shot with this traditional lamp atop your desk. Bankers lamps were originated in the 1800s to shine a very focused area of light onto a desk for banker's and accountant's tedious paperwork. Apparently the originals used mostly blue glass, but green is most common today. The antique-style dangling-switch with the shiny yellow brass will be sure to add a touch of elegance to your office and give people the impression that you're never bluffing.

Prices can range from $30 to $300, but I got mine for around $30 at Staples and it serves me well.
