That appears to be a Dietz dome, but I'm not sure what the rest of the light is. I doubt it's worth anywhere near $200 though. I'd say talk them down to like $75 at the most.

Dome was nice. They will not negotiate prices here. What is suppose to be an antique store is more of a museum because everything is super way overpriced.

Don't they call those Nothing's for Sale stores, Display only cause we don't want or need to get rid of anything here and the rents paid for just by showing up. Reminds me of those guys on American pickers, person doesn't want to sell anything, everything has an emotional attachment.

It looks to me like possibly a large Grote light with a wrong dome retaining band. 
It look to be a mishmash of parts.
The internals look more to be from Arrow.
The lens either Dietz or Sireno.
It might be as Dan says that it is a bottom bowl with the wrong bezel but the internals seems not to be from Grote, in my opinion.

Aren't dietz bases kinda rounded on the bottom?
I'd have to look at mine.
Look at the top of the dome and see what is stamped. if its DZ something its a dietz dome, and a blue dietz dome can fetch $200.

You might be right by in my eyes it look like the lampholders is in a cross of two ”arms” with one ”arm” mounted over the other and one of these ”arms” also seems shorter than the other.
Like the construction on Arrow.

I'm seeing Grote base, Grote internals, Grote dome, Federal retaining band.
AND, I'm blaming Skulldigger for starting this whole lot of conjecture by not being more observant, and not getting more detailed pictures, LOL.

The Grote 7624 has a shiny retaining band. But the Grote dome, which is hard to find has no lip hardly at all and the wide retaining band holds it even with the edges. If you have to use a Dietz, or Stratolite dome, it has the wide lip. Place a retaining band off of a Federal 184, without the Grote band, and it fits. Doesn't seal, but it fits. The tub for the Grote is brushed metal and not shiny.
Here is my Grote with the Stratolite and band from one of my Federal CJ184's.
What do you think?

As I said previously, Dan might be right and I did not think this was a competition only an attempt to identify this odd looking light.
What made me wonder was that the lower lampholder did not look as a round part but as a cross and that lower holder seems to be higher on right sealed beam than on the left one.
Probably my eyes that have fooled me.

It wasn't a competition at all. People do enjoy trying to figure out a mystery though.
Here is a look at the insides. Blown up and try to clear the blue up.

I think Rob's right...if that's a Dietz dome, you may want to reconsider the price.
