About 25 years ago, a friend of a friend gave me 2 amber-colored glass wall sconce shades. He lived in Philadelphia, PA at the time. He said they came from a movie theatre in South Jersey. I wonder if it was the WESTMONT? I still have them. They have been in a box in my basement for 25 years and in excellent condition.
