Another Schoolhouse Light!

I won this schoolhouse light for $14 on eBay. This is original to a 1920s home from which it was taken out. It's a classic style milk glass globe in a flush mount. I love it! I can see why these are so loved. Aren't they kind of "cute"?...in an industrial kind of way. All I know is that I feel really attached to the thing when it comes out of the box...and that's not something I normally feel about light fixtures. :)

I think I'm going to give this one a new chrome or nickle finish. It will also need to be rewired with a new socket. (no big deal)



How many of these simple light fixtures have survived 80+ years? That's something I wonder.
