Kalco has been making Ponderosa Outdoor Lighting longer than I have been in lighting. Imperial Electric had one of the double wall lanterns on display and I fell in love.

This is the smallest of the wall lanterns. It is 10.25″ wide x 17.25″ high. It takes any medium base bulb up to 100 watts. Because you can’t see the bulb, go ahead and use a fluorescent screw in. They are too ugly to use usually, but you can’t see it here

Over the years, there have been some changes. For a while there were two finishes.  You can still sometimes find pieces in Sycamore finish on eBay or Amazon.
