An elegant chandelier from the late fifties of the last century. The markings that we managed to find are on the lampholder mount. It contains the following information: "Electrometall, Tallinn, 220 V / 75 W, GOST 8607-57, 1959". The lamps, together with the lampholders, are placed horizontally in the cavity of the glasses, illuminating the room with a pleasant soft light, diffused by frosted glass cups and reflected from the ceiling. In order to remove the cover, it is necessary to unscrew the bulb and partially disassemble the lampholder.

"Kamelyok" souvenir night light from the era of the distant seventies was designed to create an atmosphere of peace and home comfort. The body is assembled from the identical brass elements, connected by plastic corners using screws and nuts. The glow discharge lamp (with E27 base) flickers pleasantly when glowing, imitating the quivering tongues of flame. At that time, this lamp was very expensive. I bought it in those distant years as a gift to my grandmother on her birthday.

Sorting through the rubble of "very necessary things" near the garage, in a heap of ferrous metal I discovered several interesting objects of the USSR era. Among them there were two fixtures: one with an aluminum body, which looked very decent, and the other with an "iron" one and looked very wretched. As a fan of Soviet artifacts, I decided to give the second fixture a second life. I soaked the locks with WD-liquid, sanded the case, washed the shade, and under the layers of dirt and rust a Soviet industrial fixture NSP-02/P51-01-U5, produced in 1978, was discovered.
