Gooseneck #20/850 is the Buzzzzz!

On your next trip to the Hamptons, on the south shore of Long Island New York, why not plan a little side trip on your way back into Manhattan? About 30 miles to the west you’ll find the sleepy little town of Rockville Center.

When you arrive, you’ll find yourself following in the footsteps of some of the town’s most famous alumni with a summertime stroll. Once twilight arrives make sure you stroll down S. Village Avenue, where you’ll find yourself bathed in the beautiful glow of Primelite’s Gooseneck fixtures #20/850! All 3 dozen of them!  

What alumni you may be wondering? Among the famous Rockville Center can claim as its own include; Amy Schumer (comedienne), Sandy Kofax (Baseball Hall of Fame pitcher), Joan Jett (rock musician), Billy Idol (rock singer), Doris Kearns Goodwin (historian, Pulitzer Prize winner),  Floyd Patterson (boxer, former Heavyweight Champion of the World), and of course, Howard Stern (Bababooey! Bababooey!) So pick up some Carvel Ice Cream** or a Ralph’s Italian Ice** and enjoy an evening stroll under the stars. And lights!

#tbtPrimelite: Another blast from Primelite’s past! We’re again highlighting lights from our series of 1970s childrens fixtures. The catalogs introduced a series of girl & boy light fixtures, painted in traditional colors and themes. These desk lamps were part of the “Juvenile Gems” collection which were popular throughout the ’70s decade.

Buzzzzz! TJ Finely Gooseneck #20/850

Primelite Gooseneck #20/852 is the Buzzzzz!

“Don’t worry…be hoppy and head on down to TJ Finley’s Public House…This place has…over 100 different types of the most quaffable liquids sent from heaven….beers, ales, stouts, abbeys, lagers, mead, and every type of liquor imaginable to man…Seriously…this place is the bomb!” *

Out on the south shore of Long Island New York, in the hamlet of Bay Shore, is a fine establishment called TJ Finelys Public House. It has quite a following and is the place to be on a Saturday nights.

And joining in the celebration is Primelite Gooseneck #20/852. With its stately arched arm, the #20/852 illuminates the patio fun with an inviting welcome to the party. Fine spirits, good food and bright lights. Main Street never looked so good!

#tbtPrimelite’s Globes are Now and Then

#tbtPrimelite

#tbtPrimelite

 

#tbtPrimelite: For 50+ years, globe lights have been an important part of Primelite’s success. These decorative exterior globes from the late 1980’s were an early example of blow-molded globes, which is now common in the construction of modern lighting globes. Just imagine these lights illuminating your yards, streets, and parks! Sometimes retro really is cool!

Here is an original scan of our calendar page highlighting these globes.

Repost: Relight Your Fire with Stylish 1970s Gaslamps

#tbtPrimelite

#tbtprimelite 1970 gaslights

#tbtPrimelite | #victoriangaslamps | #1970

 

This week we’re #tbt-ing a page from one of our 1970s Primelite catalogs, featuring our Victorian “Gaslamp by Primelite” series. Reflecting the last century’s growing re-interest in Victorian styling, our Gaslamps captured the spirit, and feeling, of the old-time lighting. Updated with modern materials and finishes, the series was available in Old English Brass, Antique Gold, Antique White, as well in special antique finishes. The Gaslamp series featured old-skool style glass globes and shades in updated colors. You can be sure these Gaslamps brightened many homes, restaurants, offices, dens and playrooms throughout the decade.
