These originally came off of a stage coach and were originally oil burning. They were updated for electrical usage some time ago.

This pair of lights have been in my family for generations. My grandmother purchased these at her uncle’s estate sale. She remarked that she always admired them so she decided to buy them. Smart woman. She purchased them in the early 1950s. My great-uncle or great-great uncle had them on his home since the early 1900s.

They show some signs on wear and age. Some rust on the interior portion. Includes both brackets. One is missing the wingnut. Painted black with perhaps some brass accents, beveled glass and a copper eagle on top. less
