Benjamin Pendant Cluster Type T53 - SOLD

The fixture shown here is a Benjamin three socket pendant cluster  type T53. These came with options of 2,3,4 or 5 lights of which  all versions came with an 18 inch flat opal reflector. This fixture  is more sought after because it is signed by Benjamin. Many early  Benjamin fixtures were not signed because Benjamin used many third  party fixture parts and then hooked their clusters into them. This  fixture and all of it's parts were manufactured by Benjamin.

The reflector on this fixture is unique in the way that it has a drip on the shade rim. I point this out because many collectors such as myself look for and value tiny imperfections on antique glass shades, as it makes them more desirable.

This fixture also features a Bryant center pull chain switch that controls all three lights at once. You will come across many Benjamin fixtures that use the standard Benjamin clusters, but these all original Benjamin fixtures are hard to come by.

This one is priced to sell.
