Whats this off of?

as the title states guys i need some info on a part.... I found this light on e8@y and i didnt buy it in time. Does anyone know what its off of or who the manufacturer was of it? Any help is appreciated!!!!

Thanks BC

 

Really? Nobody knows anything.....

 

It's from california.

I wonder if it's off a trailer?

 

Looks to me like an accessory license plate topper with a built in 3rd brake light or possibly off a trailer of tractor. Probably Sears, or J.C. Whitney if I had to guess.

 

If that plate has been attached to it all these years it is a high quality made piece. Cheap stuff was made of steel, that must be brass. Did it brake $100.00 ? Bob

 

Looks like off a commercial tractor or trailer. Early 50's I am guessing. peace

 

That taillight almost looks like a Lambretta piece. If it is glass then I'd say Lambretta but plastic probably accessory.

 

Thanks guys. I think I'm going to have a hard time finding another one.......

@the37kid : no the light didn't break $100, it only got to around $30. I feel like an idiot for not bidding more haha

 

Just track down the original owner from the license plate and ask him!

My guess is OLD, maybe 1920, aftermarket.
