Please tell me about this light! The Walden Fore-lite

I found this cool light in a box of stuff I aquired from an estate. I can't find any info on it anywhere. Can someone please tell me what this is and possibly what it is worth? Is it something worth keeping to use?


The top tag is in one of the photos and it says The Walden Fore-Lite. The lens says warner-patterson co Chicago Patternson-Lenz. It measures about 4.75" across.

Thanks,
Mike

 

"Fore" makes me think maybe it's from a boat

 

yeah Fore and aft..probably Boat stuff

 

Fore-skin? Thats it, it's a Urologists exam light!

 

There-FORE someone should be able to tell me what the heck this is! Right?

 

Im thinking Tug Boat..Or at least a decent sized vessel

 

Ellmore Patterson from wikipedia:
In 1916, he co-founded the Warner-Patterson Co., a manufacturer of automobile accessories. While with that company, he invented a shaded lens for automobile headlights. He retired in 1936, but remained chairman of the company's board until his death.
