    It's from california.

    I wonder if it's off a trailer?

    Looks to me like an accessory license plate topper with a built in 3rd brake light or possibly off a trailer of tractor. Probably Sears, or J.C. Whitney if I had to guess.

    If that plate has been attached to it all these years it is a high quality made piece. Cheap stuff was made of steel, that must be br***. Did it brake $100.00 ? Bob

    That taillight almost looks like a Lambretta piece. If it is gl*** then I'd say Lambretta but plastic probably accessory.
     
  8. Thanks guys. I think I'm going to have a hard time finding another one.......

    @the37kid : no the light didn't break $100, it only got to around $30. I feel like an idiot for not bidding more haha

    Just track down the original owner from the license plate and ask him! :)

    My guess is OLD, maybe 1920, aftermarket.
