It is marked Paiste 4471 on the brass fixture and on the ceramic piece that holds the light inside. Displays exceptionally nice. This is an early fixture in about 1910 manganese was not being used in clear glass making any longer manganese was what causes the glass to turn purple.

    Thanks for looking!
    PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT MY STORE AND OTHER AUCTIONS!
    Ebay began charging final value fees on the shipping costs as well as the item price in July 2011. Therefore, at times it will be necessary to add handling fees to the shipping costs to offset Ebay's new seller fees. This results in no additional profit for me, it simply provides the full amount required to ship your item. Thanks for your understanding. I provide insurance on higher value items!
    Most of the items I sell are old and will have expected age, but I also sell new and newer items. I am not an expert on any one item and I do my best to describe each item. I try to point out things that stand out and might miss something unintentionally. Please ask questions before you bid if you are wondering about something specific that I have not mentioned, especially if it is an important detail to you. Please also use pictures as part of description.
    I usually ship on Wednesdays, so send out time depends on when payment is cleared. I will combine shipping if I can. Delivery confirmation is included for Most U.S. delivery and provides a tracking number. Please be aware, I have found parcel post delivery often takes up to 8 - 10 business days from Montana, especially to Eastern US.
