What year are these lights?

Post WW2 sealed beam Unity (made in Chicago) driving lights.  If the lights operate on 120 Volts, then the original 6 or 12 Volts bulbs have been changed.  Unity is still in the business of making accessory lights and spotlights.  I contacted them a few years ago to obtain a hole drilling template for mounting a spotlight for a vintage car.

The silver colored insulation wires are the original wires, which are intended for use on low voltage.  The wires likely use a rubber insulation, which can become hard and brittle with age.  For safety concerns, operation of these lights on a voltage greater than 30 Volts should not be attempted.
