STUDEBAKER STOP lamp

[Spinneyhill]

I have had this in my collection for many years. I need a little help as to what was it used on please.

 

OD at large end 112 mm or just under 4.5". Overall depth to back is 3" = 76 mm.

 

Attaching bolts are in a more or less vertical plane, above and below the light socket. Bolt spacing 51 mm = 2".

 

There is no impressed light maker's name, only the STUDEBAKER cutout between the lens and the bulb.

 

Thank you for any help you can offer.

Looks like about 1927....

This is common tail lite and usually has a faint stamping on the top saying

Studebaker Type "A" "B" or "C".other makes used a similar tail light without the stamping or STUDEBAKER lens backup plate.

Thank you Robert. I looked closely under the old masking tape mess and it says STUDEBAKER TYPE C.

I bought one of these last year and I am in the process of adding it to my 1919 Studebaker Big 6 racer.

My 1928 GE dictator has one.

I'd love to have it for my replica 1932 Studebaker Indy car.  Can we make a deal?

 

My friend Mike Cleary has one on his original 1932 Indy car.

Yes. Send a p.m. with your offer.

 

Shipping NZ to USA will be of the order of 35 NZ$ I think.
