Next are a few printing blocks, a piece off a winding machine and a light socket which hung from the ceiling of Chapman Electric. I have never seen another like it. I always admired it when I visited, and when they closed the owner gave it to me. It is ingenious in that it pulls the chain straight out of the socket when the string was pulled. I hope someone can tell me about it so I don't have to clean it to find out!
So the chain comes out of that little arm sticking out? What is the curved part of it? Having a hard time wrapping my head around how that socket is put together.
I would definitely clean it up though to the point of being useable (although don't remove the patina) and hang that thing up somewhere around the house. A nice shop or a "man cave" (I hate that phrase and hate using it) would be the best place to me. I'd hang the thing in my room though.
