A superb vintage marine, ships cargo light, made in the twentieth century by a company called “Wiska” a supplier of marine lighting since 1910 and are still in existence today, this particular piece is an authentic vintage piece that’s actually come from a ship, and from researching I bit about wise is that they used heavy brass fittings in the early part of the 20th century, so as you would expect it has some patina, some greening starting to spear and potting to the brass from sea winds, some tiny dents in the copper, it’s all authentic from use , the serial number is still visible, 836680, it’s currently wired to uk spec, so if you guys across the pond would need to get it re wired, although it’s a light that Woolf be wired in to your mains instead of a plug type, it’s 13” across the front and 17” high, it’s still got the original fittings so could be hung on a chain or bolted to a pillar or frame work, it’s a heavy piece to, and ready to go
