John,
You have quite the collection. I have never seen that retailer light fixture before. Very nice.
Thanks very much! Yeah, I had some inner debate when I was bidding on that one, since even the starting bid was pretty high. But once I actually had it in my hands, I was so glad to have acquired it! The thing just oozes vintage 1950s, and is a great complement to the rest of my collection.
I’ve been spinning around this idea to incorporate this light fixture into a retro hardware store display, along with a 10-ER accessories display board (also from a retailer…) and my recently acquired greenie-era Magna-Line Double Power Stand. Between my Shopsmith memorabilia and a smaller collection of my home state’s Millers Falls hand tools, I think could create a pretty cool 1950s vibe…
