D Binger Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 The items on the left and right are side light brackets and the one in the middle is a grease cup. I have one like that, but not sure what came off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1937hd45 Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 The sidelight brackets look to be a good quality reproduction that have not been drilled for the mounting bolts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Binger Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Bob,What other lights besides Atwood Castle used the long slot for mounting? Maybe Terry knows.Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Bond Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 I tend to think they are generic brackets. The fact that they've not been drilled probably means they were designed to fit a variety of applications (drill holes where needed). As Bob suggested, they could be reproductions cast not that long ago. Most early lamps used the flat spade type mount as it was more stable. Some of the earlier bail handled lamps used fork mounting or a round bracket, so these brackets are most likely for a pair of square lamps of pretty fair size like Solar, Castle, Hall, etc. I see you are located in Virginia - how close to Norfolk? Im anxious to learn more about the parts and where they came from as often the rest of the story can help us fill in some missing gaps. If you've acquired parts from someone who was a collector, then knowing what kind of cars that person had might get us closer to positive ID on what you've got.
