This stamp was commissioned and paid for by GSA so that any of the Mackintosh Library Lights made post 2014 that contained one or more newly crafted piece would be stamped with the L&D stamp, to indicate its whole or partial newness.
In the event:
• 27 Library lights are made wholly from original parts (and not therefore stamped)
• 11 are made from some original and some new parts (therefore stamped)
• 15 are made entirely from new parts (therefore stamped)
