Pair 14" Benjamin Cobalt Blue Porcelain Light Fixture Shade Industrial Barn VTG

Description: Pair 14" Benjamin Cobalt Blue Porcelain Light Fixture Shade Industrial Barn VTGSOLD AS A PAIR Manufactured circa 1912-1945 by Benjamin. Back when these lights were manufactured, blue porcelain shades were far more expensive to produce than their white or green counterparts, thus they cost substantially more. So much more in fact, people rarely bought them. This resulted in fewer being produced, fewer surviving and higher cost for the ones that did. Very nice vintage condition with multiple small chips, mostly on the tops and rims, looks like porcelain manufacturing defects, not a lot of abuse. There is some surface rust along the rim that shows VERY well in the flash pictures. In reality, the rust doesn't show so much. The white under-sides are very good plus, they display VERY well! The two-piece refinished cast-iron tops are fitted with new sockets and a 1 1/4" socket extension to place the bulb in the sweet-spot of the reflector. I also added a ground wire, PASS YOUR INSPECTIONS!! Cosmetically, this pair is in "B to "B-" condition but electrically perfect! These will work indoors or out. There is a new gasket between the two pieces of the fitter. I could substitute the hanging hardware with goosenecks for only $90. The rare original Benjamin swivel hangers will allow the lights to hang plumb even from a ceiling that is not level. It also helps protects the lights from bumps and bruises if struck. From the ceiling to the bottom of the shades is 16". The non-original down-rods are 6" long. 3" and 12" also available free of charge for the asking. The length of the wire will accommodate up to a 36 inch down-rod, available at your local hardware store. The light will be shipped in several pieces to be re-assembled by the buyer.I will include the wire-nuts, might save you a trip to the hardware store!
