A little scrubbing with fine steel wool revealed some brass detailing.

A DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH
After acquiring all the light fixtures for the house this past year, we brought them to Hawthorne Ave. last week to be installed. The electrician noticed that the 2 fixtures sold to me as exterior lights are actually labeled inside the fixture "not for outside use". Putting the fixtures back in their boxes to be returned, we went in search of replacements....fast. Paul's Place to the rescue. Anne at Paul's Place pulled out numerous fixtures, most in need of some work. The one I decided to fall for needs perhaps the most work. It figures!
This one will hang above the door on the 2nd floor deck out back. I've decided to clean it up and clear coat the fixture instead of paint it again. I like how, with this treatment, this beauty's age shows.
Stay tuned for the completely cleaned, re-wired , and refinished light fixture! It should be sometime this week.
