<p>[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 2183832, member: 84"]My favorite thrift store reopened today!! -New rules include wearing masks required, one way aisles & only a small group allowed in at a time (I was there about 1 - 1 1/2 hours early so I was #3 and in the first group!) and after 2 months of selling stuff but not being able to buy anything - I think I was junk drunk!</p><p>BUT! I did find these 2 (2 pairs of 2 taped together for only $12.95 each pair!) pairs / 4 total old sconces that remind me of the ones on the walls of some of my dad's old theatres (which I saw when I turned the house lights on to sweep up popcorn & cups & stuff at the end of the night)! </p><p>But I'm not sure if they are as big as the ones I remember as a kid - these are 12" tall x 5" wide x 6" depth.</p><p><br /></p><p>BUT - I'm still hopeful because the theatre sconces were only used to show you (dimly) where seats were & to not disturb the people watching the movie, so they had low watt bulbs - like these.</p><p>Where else would these sconces have be used with imitation candle lighting? (my 1st thought was "circus" because of the colorful stones in them!)</p><p><br /></p><p>Any idea of their age?</p><p>Are these real old or made to look old?

But I'm not sure if they are as big as the ones I remember as a kid - these are 12" tall x 5" wide x 6" depth. BUT - I'm still hopeful because the theatre sconces were only used to show you (dimly) where seats were & to not disturb the people watching the movie, so they had low watt bulbs - like these. Where else would these sconces have be used with imitation candle lighting? (my 1st thought was "circus" because of the colorful stones in them!) Any idea of their age? Are these real old or made to look old? (because I'm not sure but they may be made of pot metal?) Any information would be greatly appreciated - these bring back good memories & finding them on 1st day back thrifting was like the cherry on top of a ice cream sundae - it just made a good day better!
