Vtg 50s Green Porcelain Deep Bowl Barn Light Gas Station Industrial - 2 avail.

Description

These nicely sized 12-3/4"-diameter 1950s-era porcelain enamel fixtures are in good condition, with a "deep bowl"  shape not easily found in vintage industrial "barn" or "gas station" lights. The steel shades have their original green and white porcelain coating that is thick, vivid, and glossy, with a black porcelain rim. These fixtures are identical to five others in another listing, but these two do have some damage, mostly chipping in the porcelain, primarily around the top of the neck and along the rim. One of the shades (both are shown in the photos) has some chipping in the walls of the shade (shades rotated 180 degrees in photos to give you a good look). This listing begins with two available fixtures sold individually. You save on combined shipping if purchasing both.
One shade still retains remnants of its original sticker bearing witness to its manufacture in Abolite's Ohio factory -- you can easily remove the sticker with water -- we show it just for informational purposes.
Each fixture has a substantial heavy-duty ceramic socket that puts today's imported sockets to shame. The mogul-sized socket accepts any typical household, "medium-base" bulb because we outfit each socket with a mogul-to-medium adapter. We especially like how this type of fixture looks with one of the "Edison" extra-large vintage-style bulbs easily found online or in big-box hardware stores, and shown in the photos. Each fixture is ready-to-hang, with only simple minor assembly required on your end. As outfitted with a 6" down pipe and a new swiveling ceiling hanger, the bottom rim of the fixture hangs about 20" down from the ceiling. If you want it to hang closer or further from the ceiling, simply choose a shorter or longer iron pipe (1/2" size) from any hardware store.
We've included 3' of new wiring to give you plenty of flexibility if choosing a longer pipe. The 4"-dia. swiveling ceiling hanger provides some "give" should the fixture be accidentally bumped, and also ensures the fixture hangs plumb -- even if your ceiling electrical box is not exactly level. We removed the fixtures' original asbestos gaskets and replaced them with safe, high-temp, factory-cut, new gaskets.
Quoted shipping is to the lower 48 states. Like all of our vintage light fixtures, these beauties were completely disassembled and refurbished to ensure they work safely and perfectly for another 60+ years!

Buy with confidence knowing that all of our vintage industrial light fixtures are:
*Refurbished to the highest standards.
We carefully disassemble each fixture down to the smallest screw, then refurbish each part. For example, all electrical contact surfaces are cleaned and restored, threaded surfaces are "chased" with taps and dies, and lubricants applied sparingly where needed. We keep the fixtures fully original, only replacing parts when corrosion or safety concerns dictate a new part, such as a new stainless steel screw in place of an old rusted one, or a new safe gasket in place of an old asbestos one.
*Restored and preserved to retain their natural and intrinsic vintage look.
We don't "wring the romance" from fixtures by excessively removing all traces of patina. Instead, metal surfaces are cleaned lightly but completely while preserving the natural patina gained over decades. The parts are then treated to retain the patina and prevent future corrosion.
*Tested and guaranteed to work perfectly.
Before any fixture leaves our workshop it is tested to ensure it works properly. Please check our flawless feedback.
*Packaged extremely well for safe arrival and shipped within 24 hours.
We've shipped vintage light fixtures all over the world with no damage incidents. That's because we use plenty of quality packing materials, and know through years of experience how to pack. Our packing practices meet or exceed the standards established by FedEx, UPS, and USPS.
