Shop office light

[1952henry]

Trying to conjure a one-off light fixture for my office in shop. Had some 36? Hubcaps in so-so condition. I pried the stainless off and mounted it to a generic Menards frosted shade. I left the road rash on stainless.

Thank you. I tend not to throw stuff. But, after awhile, if I can’t find a use and it is rather fubar, then it goes away. Far as I know, you can’t buy a fixture like this.

I remember seeing a light at the early V8 museum at Auburn. It was made from a rear end housing with maybe gas globe or some such glass lens. Pretty unique! Does anyone else remember seeing that?

Cool idea, my ‘36 hubcap is just hanging on a nail in my cellar.

Also love the look of the ceiling boards (or panels?). Period correct!
