I see these a lot. They're older than 80s. They look right at home with vintage fans, like blenderfans.

Those fixtures are real common, I've seen plenty of those. That electrical connection is not.

I don't like those ceiling tiles in the first picture. Our courthouse has or had them all over the walls and ceiling. They remind me of braille or something.

They're very vintage looking. They make me look for vintage fans.

We had those SAME ivory ceiling tiles with holes in my Elementary school.
That plug for the Fluorescent light is very unusual.
Off Topic: Did anybody watched the Eclipse yesterday? You were supposed to be able to see it if you live in North America, Europe and Africa. I did see it but it was just a small orange circle in the sky. Not very impressive. It was not like the sun Eclipse they had in the movie Doloris Claiborn with Kathy Bates. Sun Eclipses are always more impressive. They say that the next moon Eclipse won't come until 2010!

I remember at my old school, I went to a private Catholic school (i'm not Catholic though), and it was built in the late 1890's. It was remodeled recently, but some of the older fixtures still remain. Most notably the ones in the chapel and hallways upstairs. They're the older single light schoolhouse and mushroom globes, with cast iron housings. The gym had very old 1950's huge square fluorescent lights. They took FOREVER to brighten up. The classrooms use mainly older 1970's fixtures, very yellowed. The heating system didn't work most of the time, and the plumbing was really old.

Lights that take forever to brighten = mercury vapor.
