    Got these cool chrome 8" fender "blimps" at an estate sale. They are not a light, just a reflector. Very cool but have no idea what they came off of, could use some help! The underside says 7719 SM. Thanks in advance!:D

    JC Witless-type stuff...I agree - accessory pieces of some kind - roof of trucks, tops of front fenders, etc.

    Are you sure they aren't from a mid-60's bicycle? I'm thinking beach cruiser type?

    Dusty, you may be right. The barn attic I found them in had some other old bicycle lights. (see pics) Not sure what they are but enough guys seem to like them!

    I don't recognize them but I'll bet that electrified that would make really cool turn signals.

  14. Those first ones aren't off a bicycle. They look like truck cab lights.

    the mounting surface hasn't sufficient arc to fit on a bicycle fender, these are just accessory reflectors for trucks/cars and previously postulated by nearly everyone.
