    Description

    Unique antique Art Deco electrified stained glass Exit signs framed
    in wood.
    Lore is they came out of a southwestern IL rural bar and restaurant
    being t
    orn down a decade ago.  The restaurateur had discovered them
    many years prior in a warehouse of artifacts from the early 1900s.
    And supposedly, from the 1893 Chicago World's Fair.  He was looking
    to find whatever he could to furnish his restaurant and bar spending
    as few dollars as he could.
    Two feet wide by 14" tall by 5' deep
    Lights work.  Electrical wiring and sockets might need
    replacement.  Won't pass code.
    I provided the only bulbs I had.  Different bulbs/wattage
    would probably result in a better look.
    Stained glass is in good condition.  Two small hairline cracks
    in one fixture (see photo with cracks marked.  One is
    3-1/2" the other 1-1/2").
    All stained glass is very secure, very tight, even the two
    cracked sections.
    Stained glass colors:  green, red, bright yellow/gold
    Stained glass pieces are "leaded" in place
    Wood frames are in good condition
    Each fixture weighs 8 lbs. 4 oz.
    Fixtures just need some TLC.  Square them up, secure the
    stained glass.  Refinish the frames or leave them as
    is to emphasize the character, "charm" and age.
    If only they could tell us their history!
    It is worthwhile to give these exit lights the attention needed
    to "restore" them.  What a great conversation piece they will
    be whether used in your personal home or in a commercial
    setting.  Or the local bar and restaurant or local tavern.
    Prefer local pickup if possible.
