one of two patented c. 1930's american depression white porcelain enameled uniquely-shaped industrial cold-rolled steel reflector fabricated by the goodrich electric company, chicago, il.
the "lampshade," designed to direct light downward, was patented by dirk g. saaf in 1931. this type of reflector was often used in libraries containing narrow aisles with flanking shelving units.
two matching reflectors are available. the porcelain enameled finish remains in good condition, with some sporadic surface rust evident along the edges.
each library light reflector is priced individually. the white porcelain or vitreous enameled reflectors were salvaged from a chicago public library.
the original patent number is "stamped" on each exterior shade. the reflective undersides are comprised of the same finish. the single light sockets and housing are free from damage.
