This is a bronze salvaged ship light that has been restored to a nice finish that will look good in a book case, on a desk or on top of your dock pilings. Tug boats used an arrangement of these to indicate the length of the tow line. They weigh approximately 14 lbs, stand 9" tall and are 6" wide at the base. A new normal light socket has been installed and is ready to be easily wired from the side or bottom of the light. The top of the light comes off by loosening the four nuts on the base to change the bulb.
