Westy ID help please

(1/1)

Nevada Willis:
Hi.

I'm trying to identify a bell-shaped pendant Westy incandescent luminaire.  I don't think it's an AK series since the reflector bell screws permanently to the head.  An Alzak reflector snaps inside the bell.  The glassware is similar to the Cuplight - in this case a USC type 2001 gumball.  Does anyone know the correct form number for this lamp and the approximate vintage (as in pre-AK series or post-AK series?)









Thanks!

She's a beauty! But sorry, I don't have any information on it. :( I'd take a guess and say it's maybe from the 40s or 50s? I think by the 60s they had developed the standard "NEMA head" latch-on optics.

Nevada Willis:
Jace the Gull got me thinking based on his comment on another thread and I tracked it down to be a 24M Cuplight.  I realize we tend to call a lot of Westy gumballs cuplights but this appears to be the real Cuplight.

Mike:
Ah I see. Glad you were able to name it. :) Very nice lights, that's for sure. :D
