Light Fixture Patents and Company Info.

When we do our own fixture salvaging, seldom are we able to know what we are purchasing until we have the fixture down from the ceiling. This causes quite a bit of excitement over who made it and when on the drive back to the shop to start the investigation. Today, Liz and Jim picked up a set of three fixtures that have no markings on the wrought iron frames but the shades are marked with the name and patent number of the maker. The patent number is the key that opens the door to the past. From here on out we'll post our findings as there is very little even on the Internet that can help fill in the pieces. Please let us know if you have further info to broaden our references and let us know if you find this helpful. To find fixture history I'll tag all entries as Lighting History going forward.

Thanks,
Tab
