This is a solid brass Nautical Spot Light. Measures 16 inches tall, and 9 1/2 inches from front to back. The glass spot light cover is 9 inches wide. Originally wired for 32 volts, I have converted this light with a new 110-120 Volt UL Listed fixture for a normal house bulb base. You can make your power connection inside the junction box on the back side. No makers' mark or date stamp, but I assume this one is American and would date to the 1950's or older. Can be used inside or out! The mounting base is 5 inches wide and has three mount holes.

This is one of my latest projects. The solid brass original port hole mesaures 21 1 /2 inches wide, and the glass is 16 inches. With the iron stand, the table measures 33 inches to the top of the glass, the lugs stick out just a little taller. At the time of the photos, I had not yet done anything with the two lower rings that hold the legs in place. My thought was to place glass on the top ring, and a nice oak shelf on the lower ring. The iron legs are mid 1800's hand rail sections from a British Colony building that was being torn down near one of the shipyards I get items from. The only new parts here are the three rings that hold the legs in place. The port hole window sits firmly inside the top ring and is not attached, so it can be removed for shipping.

The top half of this piece that is solid brass sits inside the steel base and is removable. This would make a great entry way piece to the beach house or office!

If you are looking for a large 360 degree light take a look at this one. This 25 pound all cast brass nautical light measures 14 1/2 inches tall, and 9 1/2 inches wide. The globe is fresnel glass and is has some raised surface chips, but no cracks or serious chips. The light compartment is accessed by the top cover. We have re-cast the wing nuts on the top as the original ones were damaged. The new pieces are identical to the original ones, and after a few months outside the brass will age to match the rest of the light. The bottom mount is also something we made. The light was designed to screw onto a threaded post on the vessel. We did not change the attachment point, we just cast a base stand that threaded right to the original hole in the base. We have not re-wired the light, it has the original 220 volt or 32 volt fixture. For $20.00 extra, we will re-wire and install a new UL Listed 110-120 Volt fixture. The base mount is 3 7/8 inches wide, and has 4 mounting holes, and one center hole to bring power to the light fixture. The three rods the secure the top cast brass section to the base and holds the globe in place have also been replaced. During the polishing process the original rods would not free up.

We call this the candle stick light. This solid brass electric nautical light measures 10 1/2 inches tall. The 360 degree glass globe measures about 7 inches tall and about 3 inches wide. This light was designed for outside use, but has many applications for inside lighting also. If you plan on using this light outside in a wet location, it is best if you hang it as shown in the photo to the left. It can be used outside in the inverted position, but you must seal the base of the globe or you may get water inside the fixture. For interior applications, this light can be hung any way you want. This light has the original wiring and bulb holder, and I recommend re-wiring if you plan on lighting it up. For $15.00 I can install a new 110 volt fixture and have it ready to hang.

I have 60 of these lights in stock.

This is one of our newest designs! We have taken an original teak wood tripod and mounted an original 18 pounds solid cast brass masthead light to the top. They work real well in a corner area, or between two chairs. In the attached photos you will see the tripod in the lowest position (41 inches at the top of the light), and with the tripod extended near the highest point of use (62 inches to the top of the light). You can change the height by expanding the length of the legs (they slide in and out), and by spreading the angle of the downward legs. This light is pre-wired for 110 volts, all you need to do is add the final plug or hard wire to your power source. I made several of these designs, but no two are 100% match due to the original light and tripod use.

This brass telephone box was made by the Henschel Corporation in Amesbury, Mass. This is solid brass! The phone box measures 14 X 14 inches. As shown, it measures 54 inches tall. The base propeller measures 30 inches wide. Not shown in the photo, it has a nice round wood base that sits under the brass propeller. The phone box is held closed by three brass handles. In the photos you can see only one is present. I have the other two, just need to get some brass mounting bolts to hold them in place. The phone inside the box has 8 different channels. I am not real sure if the small crank handle on the right hand side of the phone was used to generate power or what. I have not tested the operation of the phone. This is a great display piece that can be used inside or outside. Originally the phone box mounted to the wall. The rope covered pipe and brass propeller base were added at some point to make a nice display piece. The phone box, pipe, and propeller are all bolted together, so it can be shipped with less problems.

This is a huge post light. Made of a combination of copper and brass, it is ready for any location. You can mount this one on a dock post, on the roof, or hang it upside down from the ceiling. This light weights 23 pounds, so you already know it is not one of those cheap repo you see listed all over the internet! This design is typical of the Russian lights we remove from large container ships. Normally these lights have four brass arms that extend off of the main housing. These arms would have 1 inch holes on the end of each one. The attachment point on the ship would have four open hooks. The light would lock onto these hooks for attachment. I have removed the arms and used the same brass to cast the three piece pipe mount you now see on the bottom of this light. This small modification makes the light more mountable for the new user. This is one of my best sellers! This light is 18 inches tall, and 11 inches wide. You can change the center pipe on the base and make it taller or shorter. When we re-wire these lights, we run the new power leads down inside the pipe mount. The old hole for the power leads is closed with sealer. This light needs re-wired and a new light fixture installed if you plan on lighting it up. We can re-wire and install a new bulb fixture for $20.00 extra.

Floats like this were used all over the world for different purposes. This float was a mooring marker. The "C" stands for Mooring Field, and the "7" stands for position number 7. When you would call the harbor master for a parking spot, they would assign you a space number in one of the many mooring fields in the harbor. This marking system also helped when you called the harbor taxi for a lift to shore. This original mooring float measures 38 inches tall, and about 18 inches wide. The end that is stuck in the ground looks just like the top ring. This is a fully functional float, or a cool addition to your room decor. Weight is about 18 pounds.

This is an original solid brass Masthead light with a 180 degree fresnel (undamaged) glass globe. The makers' mark reads "T. Debarbieri 436 Genova GE1120". Thought to be an early 1940's Italy designed light. Measures 13 1/2 inches tall, 12 inches wide, and if mounted to the wall it will extend out by 11 1/2 inches.

This move makes the light more attractive and makes changing the bulb less of a problem. Originally this light mounted with 4 hooks that fitted to the two side rings on each side. This made it easy to remove for repairs on the vessel. I have left these four rings on the light, but they can be remove before I ship if you requested.

This light is made of all copper and brass. We just completed polishing it, so it looks great. With the large top handle in the up position, it measures 19 inches tall. With both handles down, it measures 14 inches tall. The large top and bottom handles can be used to hang it, or they can be removed and you can mount it from the base. The original 220 wiring and light fixture has been left in place, but we can re-wire and install a new 110 volt light fixture this light for $20.00 extra. The globe is fresnel glass and shows no damage. We call this design a "Masthead Light", and it has a 360 degree globe. Use this light inside or outside, it will last for ever. Many people ask if we clear coat our lights to protect the shine, and the answer is no. If you place this light outside, it will gain some of the aged look back in no time, and if you leave it inside it will look like the photo for a long time.

More copper than brass on this original Masthead Ship Light! This light has a fresh polish job because it was painted yellow when I found it. Measures 12 inches tall, 10 inches wide, and when mounted to the wall it will extend out by 9 1/2 inches.  The globe is fresnel type, and is 180 degrees. The globe has some minor edge flakes, but nothing to be worried about. Many people ask me about the etched writing you see on the globes of lights. As you can see in the photos to the left, this light has two lines of etched information on the globe "N.P. 43360 / 21.7.74). These numbers were used in the maintenance logs of the vessels to track repairs and testing of the light. This light is also stamped "BT MASTHEAD" in the copper ban just above the globe. I am not sure what this is, but I think it was a supplier's stock number, but no supplier's name was found.

This light has the original 220 volt wiring and bulb fixtures, and needs replaced if you want to light it up. I can re-wire for 110 volts and install a new bulb fixture for $20.00 extra. This light can be used inside or outside.

Great looking light!

This G&B solid brass masthead type light was recently found in the ship breaking yards of Alang. Already off the vessel when I found it. It was days away from being melted down! This solid brass and copper light weights 25+ pounds. I have just completed removing many coats of paint and it got a complete polish job while we had it in the shop. The iron hanging fixture was on it when i found it, so we left it in place. This hanger can be removed with just a few bolts. As you see it in the photo to the left, it measures 20 inches tall. Without the iron hanger, it measures 14 inches tall. I left all the original wiring and bulb fixture in place. I can re-wire this light and add a new 110 Volt UL Listed bulb fixture for $20.00 extra. This is a great light to mount on top of a post or other structure. You can hang it from the iron hanger that you see attached to it. Never under estimate the looks of this light if it were mounted upside down from the ceiling, they really look great like that! As I say in my of my descriptions, mount it inside or out, it will last for ever. This is the the real deal, not the normal repop you see other people offering.

This is one of the most useable solid brass nautical lights you can find. The cage and the base that holds the light fixture are original. We designed the folding arm and wall mount for one of our clients. When the job was complete, we had a few extra lights that the client did not want. The old pieces and the new pieces are all 100 percent cast brass, and will last forever even in a salt water environment. The light has been re-wired and is ready for your 110 volt installation. When we installed these for our client, we found that 45 watt bulbs provided the best lighting. As you can see from the attached photos, you can mount this light 4 different ways. You can wall mount is with the light hanging down, or your can fold the light to an up-right position. This light can also be ceiling hung, or you can mount it with the base down. This light can be used as an indoor fixture, or you can mount is outside. The globes are glass. The original parts of this light were recovered from a shipyard operation and are not new. It can be expected that items recovered from a shipyard operation will not be new in the box condition. Please view the attached photos and ask questions before you bid.

In the first attached photo you see the light as it would hang from the ceiling position. In this position, the light measures 15 1/2 inches tall. If you inverted the position to become a base mount (like mounting it on a post) it would also measure 15 1/2 inches tall.  The other photos show the light being used as a wall mount. In this position, the light extends about 9 1/4 inches out from the wall. From the wall mount screw to the top of the cage assembly it measures 11 1/2 inches tall.

We recovered this helm station from one of the ship breakers in Bangladesh during our Spring 2008 trip. It was already off the vessel when I found it, so I have no knowledge of the vessel history.

You will not need to worry about someone carrying this one off unless they bring a few friends, it is heavy! Lots of brass on the wheel. We polished the brass, and re-finished the teak wood. The helm is made of iron.
