Erik Höglund (?) Candelabra Extension Rods
Rather than continue to hijack the "last thing you acquired thread", i thought I'd start another. Does anyone (hopefully Gene or Waffle will see this) know the length of the extension rods for the Erik Höglund (?) Candelabra pictured below? While we are at it, does anyone have a picture / dimensions of the ceiling plate (I found an old listing that suggested it came with one, but didn't show it).

I know there is some debate as to whether or not it really is Höglund, but I love it and am keeping it regardless. And since I can't find extension rods, I am going to have a blacksmith friend here in Chicago try his hand at making some... if I can get the proper dimensions that is.

Thanks in advance!

I'll
measure mine later today. I am still wondering as to designer, etc. I have found more citations suggesting it is rather than isn't? But I am leaning towards NOT.

Let me just point out
that this thread is really heavy with potential for ribald humor that this forum has shown a propensity and talent for.

haha... how big
is your extender??? sorry, couldn't resist. especially since you raised the issue.

thanks for measuring those. i appreciate it.

i've done some more digging as well. and i can't find any other piece of Hoeglund's that looks similar. that said, the only attribution i can find is to him...

anyway, thanks waffle! i appreciate it!
