2796G6E d. ca. 1905; This fixture is probably out of a bank or other commercial building, indicated by its massive arms and body. It has six gas lights with the original etched shades going up, with six electric lights with new matching etched globes going down. This is the original finish on the brass, and the gas lights have been electrified. Strangely, this fixture has a pull-chain switch down the center for the electric, which I believe is original, while the gas keys seem to have the original rocker arm valves, which also held pull-chains, meaning that the fixture was installed above the normal height, and these features were necessary to turn the lights on from below.
