TexRiv_63 756 Posted October 12 Share Posted October 12 I just unearthed this pretty piece, I've had it for awhile but have no idea what it is from, can anyone help? It's 2 7/8" wide by 5 5/8" high, glass lens and chrome plated stamped steel bezel, appears to be original. Thank! Link to post Share on other sites

The PO thought it was Pierce-Arrow or Studebaker but I can find no evidence of that. It does have a nice Art Deco look to it. Link to post Share on other sites

TexRiv_63 756 Posted October 19 Author Share Posted October 19 I showed this to a couple of car buddies yesterday and they were as stumped as I am as to application and make. They raised some alternate non-automotive possibilities - use in a Pullman train car or a Movie Palace theater from the late 20s - mid 30s period. Anyone dabble in either of these areas? More Googling to come... Link to post Share on other sites
roysboystoys 161 Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 What's the voltage of the bulb, might give a clue. Looks like a light for a seat in movie theater, 30's -40's Link to post Share on other sites

Offer it for sale on the Airflow forum and see how fast it sells. Can someone post a picture of this, I have not been able to find one. Link to post Share on other sites
drwatson 172 Posted October 20 Share Posted October 20 This link at OldCarManual Project gives a fair view of what looks like your interior lamp. It's seen here in a 1936 Chrysler A.F. http://www.oldcarbrochures.com/static/NA/Chrysler_and_Imperial/1936 Chrysler/1936 Chrysler Airflow Brochure/1936 Chrysler Airflow-10.html 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I think that is it but would still like photos of it in an actual car if possible. Link to post Share on other sites
