Help appreciated!

Dietz 211/7-11 beacon. Amber/red split was done by Dietz by red spraying 1/2 of the inside of an amber dome. In New Ewngland A/R split was used by DOT and tow trucks in the 1950s-1960s. Amber was front, red was rear.
This was a very heavy duty, very popular beacon.

Do you have any information which kind of spray they used?

 

[dmathieu]

No Sir, but I do have a amber/red split Dietz Junior Model # 261/7-61 for sale, if anybody is interested.

Dan,

Is that 5000PA the model with the PAR36 strobe in the front?

 

[dmathieu]

Yes, it is. I believe it was Model 5250
