Help ID old brass electric cowl light pair

[lump]

About 30 years ago at Hershey, I bought an old pair of brass cowl lamps, intending to take them home and make some attractive bench lights for my work shop. I have a few old bulb horns, porcelain signs, and brass lights on display there, because they bring back happy memories of being a kid in an AACA family. (Of COURSE I would not have done anything to damage them beyond return to use on a car!). 

 

Anyway, I never got around to doing anything with them, and eventually put them away. Then the other day I was trying to sort through some clutter and found them in the bottom of a box. Can anyone tell me what they fit? 

 

They have a very distinctive styling on the matching nickel-plated bezels, which puts me in mind of early Cadillac stuff. See photos for better description. THANKS!!

Wow, a terrific answer in about 15 minutes. That was FAST! 

 

I think you're right, Keiser. You really know these early cars. I had suspected Cadillac before, as I mentioned in my opening post. But now I can be sure. 

 

Do you know, would these lights be one-model-year only? 

 

Thanks so much

Not sure about one year only or not. Not even certain that all models in the same year had those design.
