    Did anybody have a clue on this one? It’s some kind of covered spotlight and its called “Noblendo” and has a yellow bulb inside. The guy I got it from says it came from an old car and that’s all I know. It’s a pretty cool chromed spotlight. Take a look at the pics and start guessing. Btw, I don’t know myself.

    Looks like Wiklunde, I have a friend with that last name and his family traces back to Scandinavia. Makes sense with Stockholm written on there.

    Maybe some Swedes or Norwegians that belong to the HAMB will recognize the company.

    On top it says “Noblendo Patent nr. 11423” then “Wiklunds Stockholm”

    “Maybe somthin from WWII with a hood over the lite like that. Would help during "blackout". Just a guess!!.........OLDBEET”

    Yeah, maybe your right OLDBEET, but the stuff is chromed. Looks like kind of overkill in wartime. :confused:

    Wilklunds was a bicycle manufacturer in Stockholm, if that helps.

    Yellow bulb = foglight (unless you're in France). You don't want foglights to shine upward, where they illuminate the mist and blind you. Notice also the mask on the bottom half of the lens, again blocking upward rays.

    I think it's a try-everything-we-can-think-of foglight. Maybe even for a bike, although it looks kinda large for that.

    The fog light theory sounds trustworthy, but as you says, probably to big for a bike and 6 volt as well.

    Thanks all for your answers. :)

    You can send it to me and I'll put it on my truck, we'll call it a fog light
