Here they are and at this price they are a STEAL!!  ANYWAY can somebody here please date the bulb which is NOT included, that way we can have an idea how old the fixture is.

These are nice !!!! The fixture in my opinion appears to be much older then the bulb , The fixture is probly from the 1960`s .

If you love these fixtures they should still be plentiful as they saw alot of uses in shelf lighting as well as cove lighting in homes , Cove lighting in homes was a big deal in the 60`s & early 70`s so there should not be any problems finding these gems as people are updating / Remodeling .

The bulb could be from the 80`s or 90`s

Hope this helps , Good Luck !!!!

That is a great price except for the shipping. However, I'm sure that's what shipping would actually cost, so I can't fault the seller. On the other hand, Rockford isn't that far from me. If I wanted an excuse for a day trip, I'd go pick them up. Still, just to go to pick up lights that I don't need right away is just a little too costly for me.

Alights, these aren't too far away from you, are they?
