Nice! I am surprised there are any left with decent domes. Good find.

It's in pretty good shape because, as far as I know, it was never mounted on a car roof. It has been moved around a storage a lot judging by the marks on the skirt.
It's defenatly a cool light (tall too)
Those Trippe lights a kinda odd, what were they used for ??

They were seen on various emergency vehicles. Pretty dim, early reflectors (vs sealed beams).

The lights to the left of the two Trippe lights are two KD Lamp 888 and to the right it is a Carpenter Master-Light.

That is correct... although one of the K&D lights has some end distributers name stamped on it instead. It is w/o a doubt a K&D though.

| John Marcson,
Do you have the same experience as I have with KD Lamp 888, that the metal in the base is so thin that the top is caved in due to the strenght of the mounting bolts? The lamp head is leaning because of that. It is also nice to see that you have a small European collection. For those who are interested I will give an information of what they are. From left to right: AJ.BA GF.10 Pulsar, Hella KLJ 70, Hella KL 710, Bosch RKLE 130, Pintsch Bamag KLN 12-BQ, Bosch RKLE 110 and FER 8562.5. |

I have seen that happen before. Mine aren't mounted to anything so i haven't had the problem, but i know they are prone to it.
