Hanging light

[Jamie]

I don't know anything about this hanging light but I've had it since 1973.  It's like pink bubbles all over.  When I bought it, it just had the wiring cut off but I rewired and added chain and it still has the original socket. In the inside which I could take it down and get a picture it has a metal tube that is movable with fine holes in in, I reckon so it wouldn't be overly bright. It's held together on the top piece by 2 brass screws and nuts, one on each side. I know what I paid for it but have no idea of worth now days. Thank You in advance for any help of knowing what it is.

   Very intresting Light for sure, looks like a 50's or 60's party light     What is the Bubbles made of, is that a glass or Plastic material ?  It appears to have a opalence type Glaze to it.

Looks like a swag lamp using in the mid 60's to early 70's.  These were typically hung in corners for mood lighting!

I'm forever glowing bubbles. The 70s are back now where is my disco light? That would look cool with a marshmallow sofa.

It is a very thin fine glass.

EDIT: The original wiring was very, very old when I got it in the early  70's.

Dates about right on your hanging lamp !! I would guess worth at $100. to $125. !!  There are  collectors that like items like this !!

Jamie, I would have to agree with mart on the value if in good condition.  This is a more unique one (than the typical globe).  I can still see the lime green carpets....avocado and gold appliances.....
