Very scarce and fun find .. a early
1900's Pittsburgh Dirigible - Zeppelin Searchlight.
The piece was found in an old long closed up store. The
spotlight, or searchlight is identified via it's copper
plate with the maker's marks.
Patents applied for, Pittsburgh Dirigible Search Light.
Mfg. by The Pittsburgh Electric Specialties Co. PA.
This company is known for it's electric fans.
The light I believe was powered by an external
battery. The cord was perhaps attached to the airship
during it's use. The mount is present and the piece is in
very good condition
but for some pitting on the surface of one side more than
the other. This is in great condition and may be NOS but
again, found in an untidy building in need of being
torn down.
The lens aluminum ring, unscrews from what I believe to be a
nickle plated body. The Lens is in very good condition.
There is a piece in the interior that swivels.
The original bulb is present. Very neat looking in it's own
right.
This measures approx. 7" long x 6.25" tall" x 3".
