Can anyone date this fixture and/or does anyone know the manufacturer? I was told it was from Old Salem but I cannot prove or disprove that information.

Hi, I don't know for sure but could be 1930's - 1940's would be my guess. it looks like it would hold a 6" base globe and I have seen similar ones in old photo's with gas pump globes on them.
well they didn't get electric in old Salem till 1920's.. so work from there ...smiling

I see the makers name on it in the inside...? ...
No doubt I'm late to the party, but I'm curious as to what you discovered about this light. I have an identical one, sans fixture. I got mine in Midcoast Maine.
The manufacturer could very well be Benjamin Electric Co. Looks like it may be from the early 1900's up to the 1930's. Benjamin made heavy-duty cast iron fixtures used in municipalities. I have a similar fixture from an old town building. I hope this info. helps!!!
