unknown medium swan neck bracket
This bracket came from Bristol, and stood on a cast iron column (probably originally gas). It was part of a 1950s installation which removed in
1972, as the Bristol Corporation replaced their old 100W tungsten lamp swan-necked lanterns with Atlas Gamma Six lanterns.
(The Gamma Sixes and their associated columns were removed in 2007).
The bracket is fitted with a superb old REVO C5329 cast iron box, complete with cover. It has a rather
odd square spigot cap, but hopefully that will fit my spigots!
It's probably the last remaining example of the 2000 Bristol swan-necks (as the Bristol Corporation put in an order for 2000 Atlas Gamma Sixes)...
this is, apart from the other Bristol swan-neck in my collection.
The lantern is a BTH Rural Open and is missing its refractor.
Many thanks to Dave for offering it to me, and originally rescuing it from the council all those years ago.
