    It was mounted vertically to the passenger side hinge support in the trunk of my '53 Chrysler.

    It looks like the same flashlight holder, my grandparents cars had in them.
    It looks exactly like the one's my grandfather had for holding the old 90 degree bend "2 or 3 - D" size battery flashlight while working under the hood of his '51 F3 and in the cargo area of thier '61 Buick wagon.
    The other style of flashlight I saw it used for was the old metal or hard plastic straight tube type "2 or 3 -D" battery flashlights from the 50's era.

    Thanks for the responses! And thanks for the tell-tale pic Rick's Garage. Do you know if that was a dealer option or an aftermarket thing? Now I need to see if I can find a cool old extinguisher like that one for a reasonable price.
