Hot Rods Just scored this on Ebay.

Have only seen two prior. Glass frit.

 

I know about 100,000 people in Minnesota that need one of those.

 

Priceless!

 

LOL

 

I don't think I'd put that on a car unless I was deaf.

 

I feel i'm on the edge of being banned.

 

What was that?

 

Apparently this was sold before the internet.

 

I collect antiques and worked in the paint and chemical industry before I got old and stupid. These used frit ( glass chunk ) to illuminate at night.

 

Huh?

 

Horn broke, watch for finger!

 

I drive pretty slow these days. I'd have assholes behind me honking the horn every time I went somewhere.

 

........Learn something new everyday if you keep your mind open. I knew they used pulverized glass, but I never knew it was called "frit".......I'm enlightened, not illuminated, but enlightened.

 

I could be wrong on the terminology as this was before my time but my career was in coatings and chemistry for metals. Porcelain is melted glass called frit. I assume this application used larger chunks and did not fully melt it to produce refraction. A guess as to the process.

 

Still called as such.

 

I thought beeping horn to pass was the thing to do on a two lane road? Chuck Berry Maybellene song, " A Cadillac pulled up to one hundred and four
The Ford got hot and wouldn't do no more
It done got a cloud and started to rain
I tooted my horn for the passin' lane.. I think I've passed two cars in the last 55 years; I swear they floor it when I try to go by!
