Some of you saw on the vintage lamps board that I am cleaning out a building that was an electrical and appliance place in the 40's, 50's and 60's. Thought I would post a few fixtures and hardware I found today. It's a huge space and it simply isn't possible to salvage everything, so I'm looking for items of value that are shippable (small). Let me know your thoughts on these. Should I scrap them? Pictured here are some kind of downrods, about 5/8" x 18" long, there are boxes and boxes of them, a small ceiling fixture and large GE louvers, Ken-Rad green incandescent bulbs (there are hundreds), and a Markston Preheat fixture in the box. Obviously I wouldn't scrap this, but how about the rest?

....here are more items: Overall shot of what I am dealing with, so you can appreciate why I can't keep everything, a preheat fixture (there are two more good for parts, only one end cap for all 3) strange looking round concentric diffusers or whatever they are called, and large round plastic shades for a Wakefield fixture, hangs by 3 tiny chains.

Finally,one  more: a very streamlined looking fixture of some kind, a ballast (preheat?), and more louvers with a V shaped middle section

I’m interested in the Markston fixture. PM me.

I’m interested in that V shaped fixture but I would like to know the actual length?

Got 3 of these in varying condition, one of them has one end cap. Overall is 25.5, looks like a 23" tube.

Those downrods, do they have the ceiling mount with them ? I've been looking for complete stem kits.

Wow, definitely have a selection of interesting thing. If you found the ceiling mount/socket with the dangling bathtub chains to hang the concentric round ring lites, i certainly would be interested.
