Browsing craigslist, found this little guy. Just wondering vintage, who made it.
ANTIQUE STAGE LIGHT 1000 WATTS
ANTIQUE STAGE LIGHT 1000 WATTS
I recognize that series of light fixture. I used to have one that was basically an early sheetmetal 360-equivalent. I then bought four more as a group and while mostly the same, the vent holes were different (so it's very possible that this could still be HUB as they did seem to change the hole patterns).
Let me do some research and see if I can pull up any pictures.
Yep, here's the one I had. This was the original I bought (actual picture). It had those funny theatre mask knobs. The other four had regular metal tee-handles (but not the Altman diamond type).
Single 6" plano convex lens, approx 6x12 beam, standard EGG/EGE lamp in medium prefocus socket. Shutters were same as 360Q (including fiber washers). Altman 360Q 6x12 lens tube could be used as a direct replacement and actually made a nicer beam.
Is yours a 6" or 8"? I can't tell by the angle, but it looks larger than my (now defunct) stage light.
Every manufacturer used mogul bipost for 1M and larger lamps, as that was the only BBU base available in the higher wattages.

but the body (terms ouch!) looks fatter than yours, if that makes any sense.
Bi-post, not bi-pin. Pins is smaller than posts. A bipin would be the TP22/G9.5 base/socket. G38 is a mogul bipost socket. G22 is a medium bipost socket.Origional photo of the lamp cap looks to be a two part clamping method that's seemingly a G-38 Mogul Bi-Pin lamp socket cap that has a range probably for your fixture in size only for 1Kw but G-38 in clamping style range, but adds to it's elder range, but limited in wattage. I have some from 1948 I think similar in base that are rated up to 2Kw but they have much larger cannon proportions to the fixture.
Susect your fixture has a Mogul bi-pin lamp socket but is only rated for 1Kw. Mostly a question of what lamp comes out of the fixture. Bi-pin or something else? I think G-38 mogul Bi-pin and not G-22 medium bi-pin in lamp type. Not Kliegl or Century also in having both in 8" size somewhat similar. Still the overall date of c.1948 holds in style of fixture if of help initially. ...
I don't think so....Could the mystery light be an earlier vintage of this Kliegl on eBay? Perhaps, before the bi-pin lamp was introduced (or widely used)? ...
Now that's a particularly odd unit. Do you know the make/model? Must be an 8" short throw, as there's no step-down at the lens barrel. Still of the smaller, non-cannon genre, however.
The Kliegl 1355 (which I suspect you pictured just to add confusion to the bipin vs bipost issue) is the only ERS that ever used the TP22 socket in a radial orientation. Not a very bright decision, as any intensity advantages of the tungsten-halogen EHG-family lamp were negated by the large hole in the reflector, still sized for a T-14 lamp.

I'm pretty sure you're not talking about the 1550-series, which Kliegl imported from CCT/Aimslite (http://www.klieglbros.com/catalogs/SpecSheets/1550/1550p1c280.jpg), although some versions, at least of the CCT, did use, I think, an FEL mounted base down to supposedly keep the heat away from the socket.Ah, I meant bi-pin referring to the "newer" Kliegls which used, supposedly, an FEL lamp, but radially mounted. ...
Only the Craigslist light in post #10 is a cannon Leko. The one laying on the green fabric (not the one with clamp hanging upside down, the 1365) IS a 1355 (http://www.klieglbros.com/catalogs/SpecSheets/1355/1355c76a.jpg). It was never rated to use the FEL 1000W.
A Christian Bale-retained lamp? Or a heathen bail?...Looking closely, the picture in the OP also shows a bale-retained lamp cap.
Don't pay more than $40-50 for it. The seller probably thinks it's worth more. Then figure $25-30 each way shipping to ship and back, and it's still a reasonable $100 investment, as a museam piece.Unfourtunatly, I don't actually have it yet. I did call and email the guy a few times (it's been relisted twice), but he never returned my calls or email. ...
