How to change lightbulb in old light fixture?

I cannot figure out for the life of me how to get the cover off of this light to replace the lightbulb that went out. Here's a picture, I've started to twist off the cover, but it won't budge anymore, and I don't want to break it.

i reckon if you try turning the silvery screw thing at the bottom it should loosen the the whole lot but be careful and make sure you have f hand on the glass bit.



you may then have to give the glas bowl bit a little twist but i doubt it because i think what is holding it all together is the nut at the bottom.



good luck.

That bottom thing, twists off. Its not that old a light fixure, and you can see them still at Home Depot.
The small bottom piece on the glass globe closest to the ground is what loosens and comes off allowing you remove glass globe
sorry can't help....need to look at it first.....onna light hearted note ...if you was an MP you could get someone in to change it and put it on expenses! lol



Sorry i can't help
try turning the globe counter-clockwise.
