Cool old light I found

[satanherself]

Does'nt have a turn signal light but looks like it should,,Kinda Deco I guess you'd call it ) and aluminum ta boot .Has a "E" inside a circle with a lighting bolt ,,any ideas??

 

[joehalford01]

makes me think of the movie rocketteer for some reason. you know, the one with the superhero that has the jet-pack, futuristic 50's type deal. very cool.

Yes, that looks like an Electroline and they do bring big bucks. Here's a pic of an electroline repop.

I agree that's what it is. I think they used them on LaFrance firetrucks and things like that. If you had the mate, you could retire early.

so with one I guess I could at least go to dinner ,,they have a pile of old stuff behind one of the garages thats where I found it so guess I should go look for the other

 

[donsrods]

Yep, and try to find the trim rings and other stuff too. If I am not mistaken, these were originally on American LaFrance firetrucks, and are reallly very cool lights. They are reproducing them, but not quite the same. The originals bring serious money, but usually in complete condition.

You find the neatest stuff.

I have always had that luck for some reason,,I just like odd things so when I see something I pick it up,,plus just so much stuff round this area

 

[donsrods]

What part of Pa are you in? I'm from Pittsburgh originally, and my Sister lives up in Bucks County.......Doylestown. Sounds like you are on that end of the State.

I can't remember exactly how much, but I saw a pair of those Electoline headlights sell for over $2000 on Ebay a while back.

well hell, just think, you could sell the set and finance most of a project! great find.

 

[joehalford01]

thats awesome, now u just have to decide between using them on something and having to protect it with your life, or financing another project.

 

[satanherself]

Found the other one,,now just have to find the other trim ring

[donsrods]

Wow, those are in nice shape. You should be able to score some good money for the pair. They are really art-deco looking, and I see them on Ebay occasionally for big bucks.

[35Mastr]

Wow,Now you can take a early retirement.Post them up on the net and see what they will bring with a reserve.Or just save them and use them on your favorite project.

 

[Gastrick]

Don't listen to those other guys. Those lights are worthless, and radioactive. You should just carefully package them and send them to me for propper disposal.

 

[joehalford01]

sell sell sell sell.....

Oh, that is good information to have Gastrick. Maybe you can give me a heads up if the 4 mint '32 coupes I have stashed away should also be disposed of in a similar manner.

I don't suppose you do pickups, do you? No problem, I will still pay the shipping to get them to you. Thanks for saving us from these terrible items.
