Picked up a pair of these art deco theatre fixtures on Saturday. They are both in great shape, tho, one glass strip has a chip on the pointed end. Not very noticable. I wonder if these are repro fixtures. The screws are slotted (flat head). They are quite large. They have ceramic bulb holders and I have read that colored bulbs were used to get an interesting effect. Does anybody know if these were recently made? I don't get a sense of age (maybe they are just in great shape).
these are really nice looking sconce fixtures. Here's an online source, but can't tell from description if they are new or refurbished:

Thanks, TallCakes. They appear to be new, from the ad. I have the one with the two double sockets. These appear to be brass, tho they may be plated brass. Even tho I think they are new, I still like them. I had the feeling they were new, as I didn't get a sense of age.
TallCakes, looks like I got a real bargain on them. I picked them up at our local non-profit building supply store (The Green Project) for $126. I am mainly into Victorian decoration, but I may put these up in my bedroom. They would be nice with colored bulbs as accent pieces.
