It was made from zinc coated steel, and has long, and short version for 125, 250, and 400Watts Mercury Vapor lamps. It has ORZ3Kł mark, and is commonly called coffin cause it has very similar shape :)

Members are more likely to see them if they are posted on the gallery instead of the forum. They look really cool. They look similar to some of the older Gas station lights found in USA!

Yes, you brought me from youtube :)
Steel version of spoons are made from painted steel, not zinc coated steel like coffins.

P.S. I'm Sorry, but I cannot upload photos to gallery, cause the gallery don't work on my laptop :(
I'll try to fix it.
