This is a very thick brass nautical light made by Perko... It is identical to one I sold a few weeks ago on Ebay & the last one I have,,, The red glass is original & also very thick... It was rewired for household current & works... The wire is very short & bared at the end & has a cut in it, so it probably should be replaced... It stands 9 1/2" tall... It has two open threaded fittings (one on bottom & one on back)... It also has a smaller hole that the new wiring was ran through... I'm not sure if it was on a ship or maybe even a bridge... It is heavy duty, I put it on a bathroom scale & it registered 10 pounds... The glass is still in excellent condition but has 2 very small chips that are not too noticeable (See photos)... It also looks like it was either painted the brass/bronze color with a gloss spray paint or it had a clear gloss sprayed on it, I honestly can't tell which... It was found in an old estate in northern Michigan right on Lake Huron, so it probably has some history... Unfortunately I do not know the history of it... Buyer pays $17.00 s&h in the U.S... Low starting bid, with No Reserve & No Buy It Now!!!... Thank You!!!!
