L@@k! Rare Ca 1940 Vintage Hibay Holophane Industrial Light Lamp Shade 19 Dia

  

RESCUED FROM STORAGE IN A BARN IN READSFIELD, WISCONSIN..... 1940 HOLOPHANE HI BAY LIGHT, ORIGINAL AND COMPLETE. THIS WAS SUSPENDED WITH PIPE AS SHOWN HERE. THE FIXTURE ITSELF MEASURES 36" HIGH X 19" WIDE. BEAUTIFUL PRISMATIC THICK GLASS SHADE.

ORIGINAL MOGUL PORCELAIN SOCKET WITH AN ADAPTER FOR A STANDARD BASE BULB, ORIGINAL FITTINGS AND SPRING LOADED RETAINING RING...... FINISHED AT THE CEILING WITH AN INDUSTRIAL PLATE. THIS FIXTURE IS REWIRED AND GROUNDED. AS FOUND, THE ORIGINAL FACTORY PLATED STEEL FINISH WAS SIMPLY CLEANED UP TO REMOVE THE DIRT, TO MAINTAIN THE INTEGRITY OF THE FIXTURE.

IT HAS AN INDUSTRIAL RATHER DULL METAL PATINA, THIS FIXTURE IS EXCEPTIONAL..... AND A BEAUTIFUL EXAMPLE OF ELECTRICAL HISTORY AND OF SURVIVING VINTAGE INDUSTRIAL LIGHTING. BUT THERE IS NO COMPARISON TO THE REAL THING. YOU ARE LOOKING AT A LIGHT FIXTURE THAT IS 70+ YEARS OLD. I HAVE 10 MATCHING OF THESE AND AN ADDITIONAL 10 OF AN 21 DIAMETER. ALL OF THESE WERE FOUND BURIED IN A BARN AND HAVE BEEN THERE FOR YEARS!

THEY ALL HAVE ALUMINUM SHIELDS, BUT MOST OF THEM ARE PRETTY DENTED UP. BUT BECAUSE OF THOSE SHIELDS OVER THE GLASS, PROTECTING THE SHADES, THERE ARE FEW IF ANY CHIPS!

THESE ARE AN AMAZING COLLECTION! I HAVE SEEN JUST TWO OTHERS OF THESE FOR SALE.......... THIS LISTING IS FOR ONE OF A COLLECTION OF 10. I SHARE YOUR EXCITEMENT FOR THE REUSE OF THESE SURVIVING FIXTURES. THESE ARE EXTINCT, WHEN THEY ARE GONE, THEY ARE GONE.
