Bill's "new" woodshop porch lamps

After looking for over a year, Bill finally has the outdoor lights he wants for his woodshop! At least he has them in his possession --- He needs to clean them up, electrify them, and hang them on the shop's wrap-around porch.

He has often found one single antique lamp he liked, but never two. Then, on Saturday, we took a spur-of-the-moment drive to Round Top and wandered through several antique shops . . . where he found these two railroad lamps. Both still contain the original reflectors inside and both still have the filters that change from clear to blue to red. After electrifying them, he plans to use flame-type bulbs in them to maintain the antique feel.

    1. I guess it pays to keep looking, not settling for whatever is easier to find!
