Discovered at Brimfield flea market, its origins were unknown until the discovery was later spotlighted by David Seidman in Forbes magazine. From the inaugural opening of Ebbets in 1913, the fixture comes with a photograph of it in use in Ebbets Field's palatial "Rotunda." It features the original finish with great patina and comes mounted on a fine quality plaque for easy hanging. Descending from it are two globes that have been painted by hand to look like the original. We duped it from the few globes we have ever seen which are actually a lot more common than the fixture. A rare relic from one of the country's most beloved ballparks.</p>
