how much for a light fitting I pulled out of a loft today? guess

[Max Clayton]

Ok so I've been rewiring a untenanted family members home this week just gone and in the loft was some kind of industrial light the sought you might find in a dockers yard
It's 500mm diameter at the base of a dome shade ceramic green paint made by maxlume I was going to lob it but it was in such mint condition I decided to google it and make calls to see if it was worth anything as the builder my father in law said it would have been there since 1930 odd as that's how long the family's owned the house

The guy I call seems very at ease to tell me what he'll give me £25 just googled a price for me to buy one from him £428.00 + vat = £513.60 think I'll be keeping that then and it'll be going up in my house

Let me clean 60-70 years of dust off it so you can see how mint it is and yes for sure

It's one of those lights you wouldn't think twice about so when I found out I nearly swallowed my toungue

Can I have a guess at one of these? Trainspotters.co.uk - Newsletter January 2012

I have seen one in an expensive retro shop near me, not for sale was part of the window display!

The quality of old industrial light fittings is A1. My favorite is coughtrie, I removed a batch of 30 from a factory near me and I am still fitting them for people. They were originally installed in 66 and still as good as new!

Pretty much that sought of thing the shade is more of a dome shape
