Seagrass and iron. So good. Magazine rack, model 6521 for Northcraft Lighting Co. USA, 1951
McCobb's lighting designs are some of his best work, and the hardest to come by.
This one, produced by Excelsior Art Studios USA in 1954, might be his best.
Yes, he designed radios too.  CBS-Columbia USA, 1955
