Primarily Petroliana Shop Talk Forums Shop Talk Petroliana Forums Want to Buy Petroliana Old service station or garage outside light

Anyone have one of the old outside lights they use to use on the outside of service garages? Mainly used to light up the sign they had hanging there. I am sure you all know what I am talking about. They usually have a mounting piece and then an arm that comes out and curls up and back down to the shade. The shade is rounded on the top and then flairs out from there. I just call it a shop light.

There are bunches of these on e-Bay all the time. Just put 'Gas Station Light' in as a search.

You will also find these at all the gas shows.

I have several. I can send some pics, if you wish.

That would be great, if you could. Not looking for anything fancy, or "brand new". Would just like to have something to hang up on the outside of the garage. I can recall my Great Grandfather and Grandfather, having them hanging up on the station they use to operate. My Grandfather worked and managed for the Cheker Oil Company for many of years, in Southern Illinois, before he left. Also. what would you be asking for one of them? Thanks for the info!

Here is what I have. All these lights are in working order and some have been rewired. All were tested.
