K-S Beehive design glass lens that is 2.75" tall including the threads.
This pole and lens was found at the bottom of an Indiana lake. Chris Craft and other wooden boat makers used this style of stern light.
The distress on the wooden pole and the brass metal add to the charm of this light. I have rewired the pole, made a matching base, replace the bulb and added a transformer so that it plugs in to 110 volt wall outlet while on display.
The lens does have a chip missing from the threads, but it does not show when mounted in the metal holder or when lite. The lens mid waist ring has a flat spot from manufacturing and minor chips and roughness from rolling on the bottom of the lake for years.
This light would make a great decorative addition to a nautical theme room. It also has eyes on the pole where a flag could be mounted.
The height is 25 inches and the base is about 5.5 inches square. This piece shows its age which is part of the charm.
