hddennis Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Posted Today, 11:24 AMJust noticed one of my tail light lenses is chipped on the bottom. Anybody have a pair of glass beehive lenses or one if it matches my pictures? The lights are off a 1920's Maxwell. The lense is 2.25 at the base. 1.25 tall but shorter or taller could be used if you had 2. The lense just fits a 2 inch opening.

Linus Tremaine Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 I have one of these tail lights. The main lens is missing and the beehive lens is present, but its chipped also. You cannot see the chip when its installed. I dont know if it would be useful to you. Its the whole tail light and arm together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrcvs Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Howard, My 1917 Maxwell does not have this type of tail light. I know yours is a 1917 as well. I am fairly certain mine is original. I will try and snap a photo later today for you. It is pretty generic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the tiny Model T like light that belongs on mine I just choose to use later lights for better brand recognition. Howard Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrcvs Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Yes, misinterpreted! I thought you got these off a 1920's Maxwell but seemed them Also appropriate for one from 1917. What year were the ones like those in my 1917 discontinued and the ones depicted above begun to be used? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having owned a non-brass Maxwell for a while now I'm sure you're as frustrated as I am about the lack of information on our cars, it's almost nonexistent ! I checked my copy of Maxwell Illustrated Price List of Parts 1916-17 Sixth Edition June 1919 and came up with BA6037 as a part number for the rear lamp assembly for 1916-17 Maxwell's. My only other source is my copy of Maxwell Master Price list of Parts January 1921 which lists BA6037 as an obsolete part to be replaced with A6622 which is listed in this book as rear lamp assembly for 1915-1921 Maxwell's. So that is the only information I have and my guess is the lamps in this post are from 1922-25 Maxwell's Howard Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
