It does look like there is a copper ground wire in there. I still say the the chain and canopy were married to a newer shade. I would like to see the socket. Is their a UL sticker on the canopy.

 if the company only made the metal parts then why can I only find information pertaining to lighting (IE lamps, chandeliers, wall scones etc.) on every site I visited researching them. Not trying to sound like a smarty-pants I honestly don't understand.

Thank you greenacres for the info. And mart We do know that current value is more than $50-75. We are definitely not antique experts but during our research we have learned that most collectors and what not do feel that having all original parts can increase an antiques value (IE ceiling mount and chain).

My mother and I recently acquired 2 beautiful Tiffany style pendant lights. Inside the ceiling mounts they have the letters L&L WMC and the numbers 9089 slip 1 1/16 and 9088 slip 1/8. We have found out that L&L WMC (loevsky&loevsky white metal casting) was a company that was started in the 1930's and closed in the 1970's. We have found many L&L WMC table lamps on EBAY and such but have yet to find any information pertaining to the 2 fixtures we have. The dome shaped light has a 36 inch chain and mount and is approximately 60 and 1/4 inches around the outer bottom edge. The other light with the raised top has a 35 inch chain and mount and is approximately 69 and 3/4 inches around the outer bottom edge with the raised scoop on top being 5 inches. If anyone could help us get more information and possibly an appraisal on these two pieces it would be very much appreciated.
