Search for Lightolier Light Brackets -or-
Yes, Mabel, there is a light at the end of this tunnel!
I am restoring a 1930 Phillips 66 filling station, located on historic Route 66 in Chandler, Oklahoma.
The station was originally equipped with seven of these lamps. I have five, and need two more to complete the restoration.
Original blueprints from the Phillips 66 Company archives in Bartlesville, Oklahoma indicate that these are Lightolier #8980 light brackets.
They were manufactured by the Lightolier Company in New York City during the 20s and 30s. These lamps adorned residences as well as commercial buildings. The entire fixture is just under 15 inches tall. A mottled yellow glass cylinder within the fixture (not shown) diffused light from the original lamps.
Have you any suggestions for finding the last two lamps? Additional information and photos are available upon your request.
