Description: FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION...................... A GROUPING OF 5 MID CENTURY MODERN LIGHTING SHADES. I FOUND THESE IN MY TRAVELS A FEW YEARS AGO AND I HAVE FINALLY GOTTEN AROUND TO LISTING THEM. THEY WERE STILL IN THEIR ORIGINAL PACKING. MATERIAL IN A NEW BOX. PLEASE SEE THE PICTURES OF WHAT REMAINS OF IT. I HAVE THROW THE BULK OF IT AWAY. MESSY!!!!!! ( BUT PERHAPS IT OFFERS CLUES AS TO THE MAKER.) GLOBES ARE GLASS WITH A FROSTED WHITE INTERIOR. EACH SHADE HAS A SIMPLE STICKER THAT SAYS MADE IN GERMANY. I WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF THESE WERE MADE BETWEEN THE WAR. SHAPE IS AS FOLLOWS: A STRAIGHT CONIC NECK THAT CONNECTS TO THE BELL. THE BELL IS MORE EGG SHAPE: A LONGER DISTATNCE BETWEEN THE NECK OF THE SHADE AND THE WIDEST DIAMETER GIVES IT A SLIGHT EGG SHAPE WITH THE SECTION BELOW BEING SHORTER TO THE OPENING OF THE SHADE. IT IS A GREAT FORM: VERY STYLISH. THE OPENING OF THE NECK IS 2 3/32 INCHES DIAMETER. THE GLOBE IS 6 1/8 INCHES AT ITS WIDEST DIAMETER. THE MOUTH OF THE SHADE IS 4 1/16 INCHES. THESE SHADES ARE NEW OLD STOCK. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT ALL OF THE THE MENTIONED FLAWS ARE ON THE INNER EDGE OF THE GLOBE AND ARE UNSEEN ON THE EXTERIOR OF THE SHADES. SHADE 1 HAS A SMALL CHIP IN THE MOUTH OPENING. SHADE 2 HAS A SMALL CHIP IN THE MOUTH OPENING. SHADE THREE HAS A SMALL CHIP AND A FIELD OF SMALL CHIPS WITH A INDENT FLAKE CHIP. SHADE 4 HAS A SMALL CHIP AND SOME ROUGHNESS TO THE EDGE. THERE IS ALSO A STRANGE FAINT LINT THAT CIRCLES THE LOWER ROUND OF THE BELL. I HAVE LOOKED AT IT WITH A LOOP AND IT IS NOT A SOLID LINE, BUT IS MADE UP OF SMALL PARTICLES OF BLACK. IT IS IN THE GLASS. PERHAPS SOME CONTAMINATION AT THE TIME OF MAKING. SHADE 5 LOOKS CLEAN. I KNOW THAT THESE SHADES WILL MAKE SOMEONE IN THE MID CENTURY LIGHTING FIELD VERY HAPPY. I HOPE THAT IT IS YOU. SORRY ABOUT THE SHIPPING. I DON'T WANT TO CROWD THE SHADE SO I HAVE TO USE THE BIGGER BOX. QUESTIONS???? EMAIL BEFORE PURCHASE. THANKS FOR LOOKING. GOOD LUCK.
