DalmatProd said:I came across a couple of "beehive" lights about 10 years ago, when I first wanted to begin my collection. One is just the glass and the second one is on a metal base (no bottom - thus no electrical base) with a plaque that states "The Griffin Lamp Company No. 360, Hamilton Ohio U.S.A."
I've been thinking of trying to find bottoms I can use for a night light bulb or similar to I can add these two to the display I'm working on.
Thanks,
Steve

dmathieu said:Yep, the first is a Griffin Model 360, and the 2nd is a lens for a Yankee, I believe.
Captain4164 said:I got one of them. Its been sitting in our shop for months and months. Dunno how we got it, and no one else does either. Since we don't use IC lights, no one knows where it came from, so my mechanic boss told me to make it disappear.

dmathieu said:Here is one of Austin / Whelen's incandescent flashing 360degree lights.
tsquale said:Dibs when you sell this one!
You all have some very nice lights.
hyperjohnny said:Digging deeper I forgot about this wooden bar with 3 of these mounted to it leaning in the corner...
The second picture shows a few of those K-D lenses in red/amber/blue. I know I had a box full of those somewhere...
Someday I should inventory all this crap. I'd probably be floored with all the boxes of stuff I'm sure I forgotten about over all these years...
Then there's the 2 I just got a couple of weeks ago, next to siren, of course.
Skip Goulet said:Have you figured out yet what the siren is?
hyperjohnny said:I'm leaning toward a Sireno. It has all the earmarks...
Skip Goulet said:Earmarks, huh! Is it that loud...or have you tried it? BTW, in those extra domes you have, do you have a blue one for a BR2?
dakarm34 said:I have a red plastic dome one but I can't find a mfg.
dmathieu said:That is a K-D Lamp Company "beehive" light.
stansdds said:I'm not Dan, but I do know that back in the day, most sirens, lights and beacons were available in 6 and 12 VDC. The "beehive" and "jelly jar" lights were typically on a flasher, very simple, on and off pattern, although a pair of lights could be wired to an alternating flasher to give a wig-wag effect.
