Hi - I just finished re-doing an old island light made by the Revere Co. in Chicago. I had a spare octagon base so I used that and took a piece of 2" aluminum pipe and welded it to a pointed RR pole cap. Kind of a mix match of stuff I had. My question is the age of the light. The Revere web site said they made service station lighting from 1930 to 1940 and then sold that division to Crouse Hinds. I thought this light might be from the 1960's. Does anyone have any information as to the age of these lights.
Thanks in advance, Mike

Hi Mike,
The light looks great.....you are probably right on dates the earlier lights had a different bonnet without the extra outlets on top. Below is an example of what the earlier ones looked like. The harp, fluted pole and base are different.
