    Brothel Light is said to come from an old coal mining village in Alabama.
    The top of the light is wood and is hand carved. I have never seen one before and is very difficult to gather information.

    It is said that when a Red Pane is facing outward the owner was open for business, and when a Yellow Pane is out the owner was busy.

      That is BEAUTIFUL!!! I would totally hang that in my house! Would look great over a 40s lounge style bar or something!
