Little is known about the Belgium company AGI. They only produced industrial work lamps in this style. Made in aluminium, brass or iron. Occasionally a wall lamp appears with a fluorescence tube. There is nothing to be found in the Belgian Official Journal about the company/factory; it must be long gone. To be continued!
It is possible that these lamps were still in production in the 1950s, it’ts hard to tell. Most of them are rewired and the sockets and switches were made the same for many years.
