That light would look good on my GE wall. I would move the Eagle for that. :grin: Image

Local bill board company printed it off for me for $100. He does have a billboard on my land so he gave me a deal. It came in two pieces for a total of 10x12'. Just used wallpaper paste and put it up. It's a real heavy paper. Heck of alot cheaper than online murals which were over $1000

I concur. That is really sharp and makes your display very experiential. Very classy, and It reminds me of the Peterson Auto Museum with their sets they have built around classic cars-a worthwhile visit if one has time when they visit Los Angeles. Man! It must be cool to have enough land, large enough for a bill board to be in the mix!

Here are a few more photos of the light. It was referred to as a Novalux in Larry's ad. I will be hooking up the bell which appears to have been disconnected in the field. It did see service in Sacramento, CA, and came down in the mid 1970s.

Mark, in answer to your question, the lenses were not broken. That is too bad the seller told you that, and I can understand how that would make this sound more like a "back-door" deal. I was really surprised that he pulled the auction. I guess based on his having a lot of people contacting him, he thought he could sell it easily off ebay. As mentioned, when I asked him to consider a "Buy It Now," I really thought he would leave it alone, especially when I requested he not pull it.
