This Industrial Holophane is called the 02454 Luminaire.
Its a double globe prism that thankfully incuded all the hardware. I just finished its restoration and will post pics. The fact that it included the porcelain insulators is just amazing. 3/4 of the way through the restoration, I discovered the center steel column contains a heavy spring- its a spring loaded cushion! Just too cool.
Wait until you see the restored pics, to include vintage cloth wiring...
Dates to about the '30s and will soon be our dining room light.
