Looks like a chimney top globe. Don't think anyone repo'd them. Someone did repo the metal caps years ago though.

This is the globe side,dosen't look like my other crowns.I know depending on the year there was a screw on base and the others had a slight lip,but this looks straight.??

Its a light swag.(not a chimney cap crown) Promo's given to standard retailers i beleive in the mid 70's. So yes its real with the correct open top and straight bottom. They are common and are known to have allot of paint missing as in flaked off. Yours looks nice. I see them sell for 250-500.00 when complete.

SuperAmerica Man is right. It is a swag light put out by Standard. I have one. Yours is missing the hardware to light and hang it and yes they seen to have a lot of flaking paint as mine has.
