Revere Pylon Lite #390520 Thu Jan 31 2013 03:49 PM

OP tobymart Member Joined: Jan 2013 Posts: 17 Kentucky	Can someone please assist with information about a Revere Pylon Lite. I believe they were made around 1953. I've completely restored one, sand blasted the base, put on a base coat/clear coat, replaced the ballasts on the inside lamp(six florescent tubes). Painted in Texaco red and had a Texaco decal made to fit. It is not for sale; but am curious how much it is worth. Any help would greatly be appreciated. I tried to post a picture but the file was too large. Thank!

I have found the simplest way to make pictures fit is: 1.go to your pictures folder 2.open your picture ... it will open with your picture viewer 3.then click on 'open'....open using 'Paint' 4.once you have it opened in 'Paint' 5.click resize.....and I generally shrink them down to 20% of original.... 6.then just click 'save' Done!

I'm not up on the value of these but I will venture an opinion that you can take for just that--an opinion. With the quality of the item, I would expect to have to pay in the $1200 to $1500 range for this light!
