[MassHistPres] Antique Exterior Light Query

[M Fenollosa]

Hi -

Try Yankee Craftsman in Wayland https://www.yankeecraftsman.com/.  If 
they don't have anything immediately available, they have a barn full of 
parts and could create something for you. It's worth a visit - their 
stock of fixtures is enormous and the owners are incredibly helpful.
