TexRiv_63 Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 This looks like it was never used. 2 15/16" in diameter, "STIMSONITE" stamped on outside. "GUIDE LAMP 914149" and "1341" stamped on inside edge. Would love to know make, year and model, TIA for any help. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Wetherbee Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 Yup, PA… my 31 only has one notch on the bottom so I’m guessing it moved to the top at a later point but it would be covered by the rim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueDevil Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 That is the center light that has the clear license light that either lights up ('33) or down ('31-32) on the license. Maybe the 2 notches are to make it universal because you would have to rotate the light 180 degrees to light "UP" vs "Down" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexRiv_63 Posted October 11, 2023 Author Share Posted October 11, 2023 Here is a satisfying follow-up to this thread. Based on the responses identifying this as being for a 33 Pierce Arrow I contacted a friend of mine who HAS a 12 cylinder 1933 Club Sedan to confirm. He did confirm the ID based on another 33 car, but said he was looking for a lens like I had as his taillight had three of the fluted red stoplight lenses. After checking dimensions I gifted the lens to him, much preferring helping complete an actual car to a few bucks on Ebay. He just mounted it and sent me this photo. He is still looking for the correct outboard clear backup light lens, if anyone has a lead on one please send me a PM. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Wetherbee Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 There was an eBay seller that had them in sets of three last year, he had two or three different sales in May of 2022 where I was finally able to get the clear one for my 31 along with spares for the other two cups. I asked if he had any singles of that clear one and he said no. They were on the pricey side but if he had a second clear one I planned on adding a RH taillight for safety… Before finding those I had a set of similar lenses that were cut down from larger diameter ones and I setup a thrust bearing and valve grinder cup in my drill press and used diamond files with water to shape the edge enough to fit the rims correctly. I didn’t have a picture of the clear one but it looks okay from 20 feet. When I get home next week I’ll try to remember and get a picture of the back up one. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
