Brad in Wisconsin Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Recently a picker buddy of mine, listed this as a marine searchlight. I told is was also an automotive brass headlamp and could be more valuable listing as such. He said he didn't want to bother so, I gave him his 10 bucks and took it home to sell. Upon thinking more about it, I decided to mount it on my 1920 Hart Parr tractor. I already have a old nickle plated Prest-o-lite bottle and don't plan on using it just as a period accessory. Does any one have a beat up back or broken reflector or lens for this marine searchlight? Unless someone needs this for a set and has a similer light instead ?

Walt G Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 AM I mistaken or the photo with the ruler you show is measuring the front opening of the lamp? All well and good but the reflector ( glass curved piece that is then silvered to act as a mirror) mounts in the rear cover? You seem to require the rear cover? if not then you need to make or find one that fits , then you will have more information and idea of what glass reflector piece you can ask for. GREAT TRACTOR! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickthecat Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Talk to George at Veteran Auto Lamps, he should have the spinnings for that size Rushmore Light. It's a bit early for the tractor, you will want to find a 1910 or earlier Pierce or Stanley to mount that to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Bond Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Is Veteran auto Lamps still in business? Last I knew they were not operating. I did email George a few years ago asking some questions for a seminar I was working on for the AACA Convention in Philly, but I note their website hasn't been updated since 2009. I would be great if they were doing business again. Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
