Help identify this early lamp

[Pete K.]

Here's another one guys, I found this single bulb, two lens lamp among some early Dodge parts,(1921-1924). I'm wondering what it went to, If Dodge or not. Notice there is a small hole on one side where some kind of bracket was. The white lens is slightly larger than the red lens. Both glass lenses have a beehive pattern in them. To get at the bulb, one must pull a snap ring out from white lens end, whereas, white lens will come off. What's really strange, is that the base stanchion has a pin that can travel in a slot, to move lamp about 30 degrees, back and forth. It is NOT a removable bayonet fitting.

Pete , I have never seen a light like that,Might be some kind of clearant light,Bill

Hi Bill, you may be right, I'm not too savvy about the earlier Dodges, since I'm still learning about my own '25. Just because it was in a box of Dodge parts, I guess that's no proof atall it may be a Dodge lamp. It really is a strange one to me too. P.S.-- I used to spend summers at my great grandma's house over in Marked Tree! just east of you in Poinsett County!--Best regards, Pete

Hey Pete I had a lamp like this one mounted on the sidecar fender of my 1924 H.D mine had a base to mount to the fender

Thanks "B"!, So far I'll have to go with your identity of this little guy as being non-Dodge. I've looked again and can't seem to find anything like a bracket that appears to have been mounted to the lamp body.---Pete.

I have seen similar lamps on eBay and they seemed to be ID'ed as fender marker lamps for motorcycles or sidecars. I think the small hole is a drain hole for the bottom of the unit similar to what you see on tail lamp buckets on our Dodges. On this sample the mounting arm would be horizontal.
