Brass
Distinguishing marks
It has bryant turn tabs for lighting, but on one of the casings it has parts of a word, all I can see is Edison Patent, it says something else right below and all I can see is 520v 50c. at the end bc the imprint is worn out.(Found it written on each bar, so I have updated the full name and what was written below bc one bar has it really good imprinted.) The light has 4 arms and on each arm, there is a face located on the front scrolling that sets behind each lighting cup. The faces are not like the northwind faces, but they are more slender and tribal like, tongue outstretched and angry in a way.
