US Navy WW2 Bronze Passage Wall Light – Vixen

The older the better. The best batch of the finest salvaged ships passage way lights we have ever had. From a US Navy gunboat of WW2 called USS Vixen. We stripped Her in Turkey around 15 years ago and when we got the containers home this batch of a dozen was put aside for a project that never happened, they have been sat hidden away in the stores here ever since. They match exactly, they have just had another full polish and the old fittings have been updated and upgraded.

You’ve got to hand it to the USA, they make the most gorgeous marine fittings, and used rich gold gun-metal bronze rather than the yellow brass the rest of the World uses.

Cage and glass unscrews for easy access to a new CE certified bulb holder, takes a standard screw in bulb.

Suitable for both outdoor and indoor use

Takes a E27 standard screw in bulb, sold separately.

USS VIXEN – Built as the Orion by Krupp Germaniawerft at Kiel, Germany in 1929, the steel-hulled yacht was purchased from German-American woollen manufacturer Julius Forstmann on 13 November 1940. Converted to a gunboat at Brooklyn, New York, by the Sullivan Drydock and Repair Corporation, the erstwhile pleasure craft was renamed Vixen and designated PG-53.
