Description
This is a rare NOS double-sided white milk glass Exit light fixture with bold green acid etched lettering (on two sides) on a chrome fitter/canopy with pull chain. It is a beefy piece and measures 5 1/2″w x 5 1/2″w and will project 8 ½” from the surface it is installed on. It can be used as either a ceiling light or sconce. The canopy is 5 ½” dia x 2 ½”h. The shade itself is 5 1/2″w x 5 1/2″w x 7″h with a 3″ fitter and the glass is 1/8″ thick. The pull chain is functional, but the outlet has been bypassed. The heavy white milk glass triangle shaped glass shade is in MINT condition and the green lettering is extremely rare. It is not marked, but I believe it was probably manufactured by Kopp. This light accepts a standard base bulb, has a new socket, has been rewired and will come to you with a modern bracket needed for install.
Note on Kopp: Kopp started off doing glass for railroads (Union Switch and Signal was right next door), then expanded in residential including very nice table lamps under PL&B (Pittsburgh Lamp & Brass) name. That failed around the depression, but the founder kept the foundry alive and brought it back to the Kopp name, and focused again on primarily industrial.
