    Just got this old light from a buddy who said it came with some car magazines from the 20's. Anybody got any ideas? I don't even see a place for wires. 20211224_131345 (2).jpg 20211224_131310 (2).jpg
     
  2. Is there a handle missing? Does that thing have a hand-crank dynamo in it?

    Is there a clock spring in it? Maybe you wound it up and the spring drove a generator.

  7. Yeah, I think you're right. There's one on eBay right now that looks kinda-sorta similar. Definitely on the right track. PullCordTroubleLite4.jpeg PullCordTroubleLite1.jpeg PullCordTroubleLite2.jpeg
