  6. Depending on the diameter, they could be 1920s running board lights. Definitely not trailer lights.

    I'm thinking '20's boat running lights for port and starboard.

    I don't know what they are from, but if you ever open a strip club they are a great start for the sign.

    I have seen quite a few of these lights over the years. Usually just the top, seldom the bases. Most times there are no other car parts near by. Usually I see them at house auction or antique shop or show. That always led me to believe they were not automobile related. No one ever knows what they were from. Running board light is a good suggestion.

    It looks like there is manufacturer's name, maybe model number, cast into the top? What does it say?
