Original cord and has an on/off switch on the side of the larger cat. It is amazing excellent condition, also has the original blue "UL", and the caution sticker (see photo). - no chips or repairs. Some crazing due to the age. When the lamp is in the on position - the light comes through the eyes. probably dates from the 1950's. When the early televisions entered our homes, it was believed that it would hurt our eyes if we watched with the lights off - so hence the invention of the TV lamp. This is a lovely example and sure to be a welcomed addition.
