I have found many vintage fixtures over the years and that has been the best way to narrow the dates down. Here is a link to a site which give some good guidelines to dating by the word change on the labels http://www.bcihi.com/Sample-Components-Age-Website.pdf Here is another site to look up the code numbers which helps to identify the maker. http://database.ul.com/cgi-bin/XYV/template/LISEXT/1FRAME/gfilenbr.html I may go overboard on the research side of things but every clue helps solve the mystery of a cool piece.
