JUST ARRIVED A WONDERFUL COLLECTION OF ORIGINAL VINTAGE CROUSE/HINDS EXPLOSION PROOF FIXTURES. THEY ARE COMPLETE AS SHOWN WITH THE ORIGINAL PORCELAIN SOCKETS, THE TEARDROP GLASS GLOBE AND THE IRON SCREW HOOD. THESE WERE RESCUED FROM THE EMPORIA KANSAS AT & SF RAILROAD ROUNDHOUSE, ORIGINALLY BUILT IN 1882 AND REMODELLED IN 1926. THE POST CARD SHOWS THEM IN USE DATED JUNE 15, 1928! AMAZING! YOU CAN SEE THEY WERE INSTALLED HIGH UP NEAR THE CEILINGS USING CONDUIT.....I HAVE THE CONDUIT! HOWEVER FOR TODAYS USE....THEY ARE BETTER SUITED AS PENDANTS OR GOOSENECK BARN LIGHTS. CONSIDERING THEY WERE EXPOSED TO HEAVY FUMES AND GRIME, COAL DUST AND SPARKS......THEY SURVIVED! PROBABLY BECAUSE THEY WERE UP SO HIGH. AND HOW WOULD LIKE TO BE THE ONE THAT HAD TO CHANGE OUT A LIGHT BULB.....THE AVERAGE LIFE OF A LIGHTBULB IN 1928.....100 HOURS! VISIT MY WEB SITE www.vintagebarnlights.com FOR PRICING.

ALL ABOUT VINTAGE BARN LIGHTING, VINTAGE BARN LIGHT, VINTAGE, ORIGINAL, PORCELAIN ENAMEL, INDUSTRIAL LIGHTING FIXTURES, VINTAGE INDUSTRIAL LIGHTING FIXTURES AND MORE INFORMATION
A LITTLE BIT ABOUT MYSELF......MY PASSIONS, MY INDUSTRIOUS SPIRIT, MY ABILLITYS.......HOW I GOT STARTED AND WHERE I AM GOING.
I HAVE BEEN COLLECTING, RESTORING/REFURBISHING ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING THAT GOES INTO A HOUSE RESTORATION PROJECT. OUT OF A PASSION COMBINED WITH A NECESSITY.....I WAS CURIOUS AND CRAFTY IN MY DESIRES AND SKILLS TO TRANSFORM OLD HOUSES FROM FIXER UPPERS TO COMPLETED PROJECTS THAT WERE HISTORICALLY ACCURATE.....YET A BIT ARTISTIC AND ECLECTIC AS WELL.
I CAME ACCROSS AN OLD GREEN PORCELAIN ENAMEL LIGHT FIXTURE YEARS AGO WHILE DIGGING AROUND IN AN ARCHITECTURAL SALVAGE COMPANY. I FELL IN LOVE AND STARTED COLLECTING AND RESTORING VINTAGE ELECTRIC LIGHT FIXTURES!
I STUDIED, RESEARCHED, LEARNED AND CONTINUED THIS PASSION AND STARTED AN EBAY STORE SELLING VINTAGE BARN LIGHTS AND INDUSTRIAL LIGHTING FIXTURES. I SOON REALIZED THAT ALTHOUGH EBAY IS THE HANDS DOWN " GO TO" LOCATION FOR THESE, THERE WERE MANY OUT THERE THAT WERE OVERWHELMED OR JUST UNAWARE, SO I CREATED MY OWN WEB SITE....... http://www.vintagebarnlights.com/.
IT HAS BEEN MY COMPLETE PASSION AND MY COMPLETE PLEASURE TO OFFER, EDUCATE, DESIGN AND SELL A PRODUCT THAT I AM MOST EXCITED ABOUT. I HAVE ALWAYS FELT THAT ANTIQUE AND VINTAGE THINGS.....HAVE PROVEN THE TEST OF TIME....AND THESE PROVE ME RIGHT EVERY TIME!
CONSIDERING THESE WERE DESIGNED AND MANUFACTURED FOR BOTH STYLE AND FUNCTION.....IT IS NO DIFFERENT TODAY. I HAVE CLEANED OFF DIRT, GRIME, OIL, NICOTINE ( YOU COULD SMOKE INSIDE A BUILDING BACK THEN ) AND EVERYTIME WITHOUT FAIL....A BEAUTIFUL SHINING FINISH APPEARS! IT IS NO DOUBT THE PORCELAIN ENAMEL FINISH.....FROM THE BEGINNING THE PROPERTIES OF FINISH WERE UNBEATABLE.
I INVITE YOU TO MY WEB SITE....IT IS A SOURCE OF KNOWELDGE, HISTORY, IDEAS AND A SELECTION OF MOST OF THE 100+ LIGHT FIXTURES I HAVE RESCUED.....AND I AM ALWAYS FINDING MORE!
CALL ME ON THE PHONE...EMAIL ME AT abb_christine@yahoo.com, I AM THE OWNER, DESIGNER, CUSTOMER SERVICE, SHIPPING, THE LIBRARY, RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT, THE LABOR AND THE ELECTRICIAN.
