The hardware was just 3 carriage bolts and a round "washer" that the bolts went though on both sides of the bolt.

I think they used to secure the sections together with bolts through the three holes that Phil mentioned earlier in this thread. They also did that in the older 8" Marbelites. I don't really understand why they started using the rings...the older design was simpler - and stronger.

It has happened. I made another purchase. This time I got 2 together on a stand. Appears they are Crouse-Hinds w/ the 3M SA130's on them. I'll post pics tomorrow after I give them a quick cleaning.

Pics!! I'm in the process of tearing them down to just clean them up, I don't want to do anything else with them. These 3M 130's aren't easy to take apart... I got one out, and I think the rest I'll just leave them on, not a fan of separating these rubber gaskets that are older than I am :)

Onto the pics...
