Hmm! I was hoping someone would say it came off the Bismark or Derwent or something like that. I can take closer pics if you like!

I have the same type out at the homestead. Mine is made by GE. (Novalux Projector?) I can take a picture of the markings on it if you would like.

The scrap guys I got it from said it came from the draw works building of a mining site they dismantled. I think they were just a weatherproof flood light mostly used for structure illumination back in the 30's & 40's. There were lots of them used in the larger cities to highlight prominent buildings.

After looking at mine before purchasing, I decided that since the outer body is Copper, it would make a wonderful top for a STILL.
