Green or milk glass shades are featured on this bank lighting. J.R. Coppersmythe, manufacturer of hand-crafted reproduction colonial and othe vintagelighting, playfully suggests that the bank lighting would be at home "in a Western bank hold up, a New York City betting parlor, or your kitchen."

The Massachussetts company operates out of an antique post-and-beam house, and owner Karen E. Thompson encourages customers to call and talk about their lighting needs. She can custom craft lighting from sketches or snapshots.

The three-lamp brass bank fixture measures 37" long, while the two-lamp fixture is 26" long. The lights are 10" high and 8" deep. Price ranges from $200 to $260 (February 2005).
