Hey guys,

My buddy is moving to a new house and asked me if I wanted these lights that were stored in his basement ... It was I take them or he's throwing them out ... Of course I took them :)

He said they were left by the previous owner (who used to be a halfass construction sub-contractor).

I know nothing about them and just wanted an opinion as to what to ask for the lot .... I would sell them AS-IS because me and my buddy don't even know if they're complete or work.

Approximate size 20 inches x 10-1/2 inches.

Rough weight, about 37 pounds apiece.

Here's some of the specs from the plates ....

Appleton Electric Company, Chicago Illinois

Anybody have an idea of a decent asking price for all four ? --- Don't forget I don't even know if they work or are complete.

Thanks :)

A company we deal with at work called ALL BULB sells an all weather light that looks similar for 40 bucks a piece.It looks like they are missing the mounting hardware.Should have a bracket for under mounting or off a pole.They are far from energy effiecent and put out quite a bit of heat.Hope it helps.
