Was wondering about this chandelier. It's Chrome. Holds 6 lights. Switch can make the lamp light 2 bulbs , 4 or 6. Has the typical 60s cord and 12' chrome chain. Anyone have any ideas? Maybe what it is worth? Although I am keeping it. I like it. Measure 14 inches from one bulb socket across to the next. With bulbs 18 inches. The ends where the bulb goes is flat. My bulbs have a backing. So it looks as if there is a flange.
