42cady Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 Last weekend I purchased some interesting items at a auction. Included was a Marion tail lamp assembly. A very unique item to add to my collection. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne sheldon Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 A longtime friend had one about thirty years ago. I saw it once at his place. I think he had to sell it about fifteen years later, and I have no idea where it is today. I have heard there are a few others, but haven't seen them. So I think there are a few at least. Neat looking tail lamp! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dandy Dave Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 There is one out there that I know of. There is a second that was assembled from period parts that were not necessarily Marion. Yup, That's me at the wheel. I put this one together for Jolyon Hofsted. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lights, at least up through 1909, and maybe later, were acetylene. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
