Operay Surgical Lamp

1930’s-1940’s Operay Multibeam Surgical

Lamp. Manufactured by Operay Laboratories

in Madison, Wisconsin. One of the most

extraordinary surgical lamps ever made.  The

bulb is in the center dome and reflects out to

mirrors and then down to the operating area to prevent shadows.  This model was actually used

by Dr. O.W. Gibbons in the operating room at

St. Paul Hospital.

   Great light! I have one just like it and I’m sadly having to sell it. I am disabled and need more room in my workshop/shed. It could be lightly refurbished with gold paint on the gold side. Good luck and God Bless, James
