I'm seeing some very cool old lights, what I suppose are auto lights of some sort, being repurposed as motorcycle tail and turn lights. I've been searching around for a while, and can't seem to find anything close. I can find bullet and marker lights, but they don't have the deco styling these do. I can only conclude that my search terms are not correct. Anybody know what you would call these, where you might find something similar, and what they came off of? Thanks in advance! Z
Zooligan, thanks for posting the photos. I've been looking for examples like this for the foundry cl*** I'm taking at the Crucible in Oakland.
No problem. Cast up a lot and I'll buy some! I love those Marvin-the-Martian spaceship looking marker/bullet/thingys (whatever they're called). And that swoopy, curvy taillight on top of the fender beats the **** out of a sparto! EDIT -- found out that taillight in the second photo is a Crocker -- http://www.crockermotorcycleco.com/
they look a bit like 1937 Lincoln Zephyr taillights. They Lincoln ones don't have the fin though. I think someone does repop them.
The green lights you show there with the fin and the stand cast into them are a harley or indian accessory light. The last pair I had sold on e-gay for about $450 bucks.
