Outdoor "Indiana" Holophane Solid Brass Lantern #O122102A: The photos show these in use as lighting on the outside of my shop.
Old Blue Green Copper Sconce Lantern #O11201F: This lovely lamp is 20.5" in length with about a 6.5" shade diameter. The back plate measures 4" x 8". Original old textured glass.
Arts and Crafts Bronze Copper Ceiling Lamp #O11201K: This high quality Craftsman lamp has beautiful textured amber glass with many tiny seeds. There is even a glass panel on the lamp bottom. Nice touch. It is about 19" in length and 5" square. The previous owners said they had not used this lamp outdoors and I believe them as the lamp does not show any outdoor use.

Original Holophane Post Lamp #O12402A: This lamp measures 19.5" tall as it is standing on a old floor lamp base which is 11.5" in diameter. It is made to screw on to a pipe coming out at the top of a post without the floor lamp base. I just put the base on it for display purposes. The top of the lamp measures 11" in diameter. Note the original Holophane trademark on the crystal and the original metal tag on the lamp neck.
