    If you could lighten it a little and give measurements, I will check.

    Are you sure that's even a lens? It looks thick like a jar lid or something.

    Since you have one,casting copies shouldn't be too difficult.

    Freeman and Smooth-on have everything you need.

    Being it says "prime" might be off a firetruck pump panel.

    Back in the 20-30's there were novelty lenses for all sorts of clubs, groups, political candidates, as well as religious symbols made to fit car taillight buckets. Could be one of those, but darned if I know what "Prime" means.

    Maybe it was on the back of a butchers car. The other light said "Choice"
