This link will take you to Salvage Maine's website. An interesting look into 'up-cycling' and 're-purposing'.
I enjoy taking snapshots of my morning and evening commute along the Eastern Trail. I hope you enjoy them as well.
A few words about CFL bulbs.
This is not a link, but I thought it was a cool light. It is made from a cast bronze steam valve salvagedfrom a sunken side-wheeler off the coast of Port Clyde. The lamp stands over two feet high and weighs a hefty 20 pounds. I used an old, violet colored lens from an antique lantern for the top. There is a round, cobalt blue window in the cupola. There is also a light behind the window on the lower body.
Vintage lamp parts for sale: (These are antique lamp sockets, switches and other lamp parts that have been salvaged either from lamps that could no longer be restored or found in flea markets. These period lamp parts are in guaranteed working condition when sold, but The Lamp Repair Shop in no way guarantees the part's longevity nor accepts any responsibility for any damage or injury caused by the installation of period, antique, or vintage lamp parts.) Sorry, I'm told I have to put that there.
