Based on 1 other example I've seen and a memeber's educated opinion from this site I am going to say 1926. I have it mounted back inside the original housing with faceplate and glass. Although faceplate is rough, the glass is in one piece. I will post a picture of how it hooks into the back ofnthe housing tonight. Its unique.

When was the last time you saw just the reflector unit for sale in one piece? I also have the housing for this and a faceplate with STOP backing plate, however, they have been just slightly altered to work on a different vehicle. I removed this piece in order to save it from that process. $75 FREE SHIPPING

These are some extra hand polished brass faceplates for your 3.5" beehive taillight assembly. Selling together or separate. $30 each or $80 for all three. FREE SHIPPING.

Nice little 1920's Do Ray taillight. I have updated the socket and bulb to 12v with dual contact bulb so no more single wire stuff. Body is polished and looks very vintage. $65 FREE SHIPPING

I have two original untouched Studebaker Stop Backing Plates and one That has been trimmed to allow more light to shine through and just says STOP. $60 for all three FREE SHIPPING

Two never used NOS glass lenses. Not sure on production date? Possibly 1950's but they are that old style, good, strong glass. Read box in photo for fitment. $60 for the pair FREE SHIPPING

Had bits and pieces of this laying in a box for some time half finished. Decided to get it all together and see if she still worked. Yes, there is a crack in the bottom glass. The chrome plating was far past saving so I had to bring the ring down to brass. I also have an extra ring for this. And there was a monstrous pitting area on the side I sanded down quite a bit but could still go further. Fortunately its not all the way eaten through so when chrome plating day comes I will sand it down and fill it. Any advice on this part?

Thanks, sent him a message

Looking for a 1937 Top shift tranny from a LaSalle. And ideally a chevrolet or oldsmobile bellhousing to mate it to. Message me here or text 772-559-7183

I know. Actually a much easier and durable way is to use the clear cap from a can of spray paint clear coat. They are easily bendable and dont crack when cut

Not sure If I'll ever find it but Im seeking to buy this glass lense if anyone has one.

I am corresponding with a seller on eBay and he presented a picture of a light and I am not familiar with the maker. Can anyone provide some history or info on this manufacturer?

I have a few 😁

From my own previous attempts to find and purchase this, what I believe is a 1924 DB Oval single year taillamp, I feel I got very lucky last week. I managed to buy two of these lights. One almost complete but rusted to heck and another complete but needing TLC. Pictures are of the first rusted taillamp and my attempts to at least bring it back to life. Second set of pics will come Friday.

Well, look like it goes to a Franklin. Found this deep in my phone files. Must have taken a screenshot back when I found it. Unfortunately I cannot locate the article. Second picture is its original condition.

That was where I initially was headed as well but it doesnt seem to fit any of my Stud housings. Ill see if I can find the article that mentions Dodge in it

I have this very nice glass lens and bezel listed on eBay. I'm not quite sure what to use in the description to identify it. I found through Google search some images of this same light on a Dodge. I cannot recall the model. Can anyone verify this? Or provide information? Thanks again.

Please PM me if you have one of these or can help me locate a few

Oh yeah, here are the before and after paint pics

Hello, everyone. I'm just about finished with a few lights and thought someone of you would find them interesting 🤷. I welcome your thoughts and suggestions. These started life as absolute rusted out trashed housings. I'm not good at throwing things out so I had a friend at a body shop fill and paint then for me and I reached into my parts box and grabbed some Dodge Brothers glass and bezels. Two housings are DOTO's and one is a Filite. Bulbs are dual filament with two bottom pins so they work with original or at least "old style" sockets. I tried to use ad much original parts as I could but I am no authority on 1920-30's Dodges so forgive me if somethings dont add up. Additionally, I got three old Do-Rays together and working. If anyone has the original clear tag glass for the Filite housing I would be inclined to buy it from you.

I find it odd that the other one was in Germany. I wonder if that was just an antique store by while he was in America or if it had a reason for being there

I have noticed the same thing. Infact, as I was explaining this post to someone while viewing it on my phone I paused and noticed the tiny differences in arched glass in the pictures and a few other things. It was certainly a style they favored back then which I personally find attractive and interesting. I have 4 complete lights now that I may take a closer look at .

Ill get some measurements. But here is a VERY similar Nash on eBay. What do you think?

Just bought this from a guy that had it mounted to a Shovelhead hardtail. The riveted mounting plate on the back reminds me of my later Desoto lamp but the angled top glass says different. Possibly Studebaker? Thanks for the help.
