These fixtures were in my '64 Compact, one over the sink, the other over the rear window. Are they original? One has a broken electrical outlet. No globes. They're not going back in - if they're original, someone can have them for the price of shipping or they'll go to a swap table at a rally. If they're not original they're going in the trash.

Yes, they are original and the outlet can be replaced with a part from a good hardware store.
Mindy, it would be better if you PM'd YAS rather than post your address... I'll delete that when and if.

Thanks Vikx. The lighting in the Compact had been hacked at by a previous owner - we weren't sure if these were original or not. It's not an "as new" restoration so we've done something else instead of using these.
The fixtures have been spoken for.

You're welcome. The lights may not have been original to your Compact but they are the right era. The plug-in on the base dates them.

Those look just like the ones in my Compact, except that white part is black or brown on mine. Thanks Shutzee for that link. I think I will replace my vintage ones since I am redoing all of the wiring.

Photo I lifted from facebook. (Thank you, D. M.) '62 Compact in the restore stages. Painted over, and still no confirmation of the shades used... Don't ever be too quick to throw stuff in the trash... .

Yes, thanks! My leftover fixtures are going to a trailer in Missouri! They left on their voyage yesterday morning.
