It is definitely a light, the ceramic light socket is marked 660W 250V MADE IN USA. The socket is inside a large and heavy green ceramic/porcelain body. On the sides of the body are brass hangers with bolts where the power line would make contact and then continue as to not break the circuit. I guess it would be an inline light. There are two bolts on each side. The light socket is housed inside a brown porcelain/ceramic cup. The whole unit is 8" tall and 6 3/4" in diameter. On the rim there are three brass bolts and a felt liner. I would guess this is where a globe of some sort would have bolted on. Take a good look at the pictures and if you have any questions feel free to ask. There are no cracks or chips on this. The white spot on the brown light socket is where it didn't take the glaze. There are still a couple of pieces of wire in it where they where cliped off. This weighs 9lbs but packaged should be around 11 lbs, so shipping is a little high. I had a fellow ebayer offer this information: This is a street light head, possibly Joslyn manufacture, circa l950. It would have had a cast iron canopy on top for mounting, and any number of different stlye reflectors could be mounted on the bottom flange, typically the wave type open relflectors seen so often in small towns. These were used on high voltage series street lighting circuits, this accounts for the porcelain insulator and the shorting clips, pull out socket,etc. Just thought maybe you could use the info   Check out my other items!             !!!PLEASE READ INSTRUCTIONS BELOW!!!
