Title: Wesy ID help please
Post by: Nevada Willis on December 07, 2014, 12:22:31 PM

Hi.

I'm trying to identify a bell-shaped pendant Westy incandescent luminaire.  I don't think it's an AK series since the head and reflector bell are all one piece.  An Alzak reflector snaps inside the bell.  The glassware is similar to the Cuplight - in this case a USC type 2001 gumball.  Does anyone know the correct form number for this lamp and the approximate vintage (as in pre-AK series or post-AK series?)

Thanks!

Thanks to Jace's comments on another Westy issue, I checked and it turns out that this lamp is a 24M, the true Westy Cuplight.  (Yes, we sometimes call other similar Westy lamps cuplights but it appears that this is the original, like the ones that decorated NYC back in the day.)
