OLD PERKO BEEHIVE STERN LIGHT, CHRIS CRAFT, HACKER...REWIRED LED 8" VIOLET GLASS - $228 - (Morro Bay, CA)

THIS LISTING IS FOR A VINTAGE, PERKO POLISHED BRASS BEEHIVE STERN LIGHT. PERFECT FOR YOUR VINTAGE RUNABOUT. IT WAS JUST REWIRED WITH A NEW 1156 SIZE SOCKET AND HAS A BRAND NEW LED BULB INSTALLED, SO IT IS READY TO MOUNT AND USE, THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST COMMON BULB SOCKETS AND YOU CAN EASILY REPLACE THE LED BULB FOR A MORE TRADITIONAL INCANDESCENT TYPE BULB. IT MEASURES APROX 8" TALL, THE ROUND BASE MEASURES APROX 2 1/2" DIAMETER. IT HAS THE "PERKO" TRADEMARK ON THE BASE, AND "PERKO" IS LARGELY CAST INTO THE GLASS BEEHIVE GLOBE. THE GLASS ON THIS HAS THE HARD TO COME BY PURPLE/VIOLET HUE FROM MANY YEARS BEING IN THE SUN, I FOUND THIS ONLINE ABOUT OLD PURPLE GLASS: American glass manufactured between 1860 and 1915 was made with manganese, which imbued the glass with an interesting trait; the glass turned purple when submitted to prolonged exposure to UV rays. THIS REALLY IS A BEAUTIFUL LIGHT AND WOULD BE A GREAT ADDITION TO YOUR VINTAGE VESSEL, THIS TRULY IS YACHT JEWELRY. AT THE TIME THIS WAS LISTED I HAVE OTHER VINTAGE BRASS/BRONZE BOAT LIGHTS, INCLUDING A NEAR IDENTICAL 12" WILCOX CRITTENDEN BEEHIVE STERN LIGHT LISTED IN SEPARATE LISTINGS. PLEASE CHECK MY OTHER LISTINGS FOR ADDITIONAL VINTAGE AS WELL AS NEW BOAT HARDWARE, I AM HAPPY TO COMBINE SHIPPING.
