    Very Nice and Rare Cranberry Glass or Gold Ruby Exit Globe.   They don't make this kind of glass anymore.   This is the Oldest and most Unusual 3-sided one I have ever seen in 50 years of collecting.    From my own personal collection.   I stretched Black electricians tape around the Rim so that the screws in the fixture do not come in contact with the glass as the rim is in mint condition.   Comes with the fixture although the fixture is new.
    NO chips    NO Dents    No Fleabites   NO Cracks
    This globe came out of a Motel built in 1920 in the Historic District of San Fransisco, CA.
    Globe is 7 1/4" High.    9 1/2: High in Fixture.    6 1/2" Wide.  Globe opening is 3".    This globe is 3-sided rounded.
    If you have never seen one of these lit up you will be Pleasantly surprised at the beauty of the Cranberry/Ruby  Red.
    Cranberry glass is made in craft production rather than in large quantities, due to the high cost of the gold.
