Nice find glad someone here got it.
Thats pretty neat John, I saw it on ebay also, good catch I haven't seen a split red/amber yankee dome before.
Is it a double flash?

Not sure... it should be here in a week. There is an all amber one on there too for $60
I've never seen a Yankee split-dome either. It almost looks like there's no seam, as if it's an all amber dome with one half of it colorized red (maybe the way unity did Spitfires).
Yeah, the "seem" looks really clean....so clean that perhaps you are right and it was done spitfire style.LRGJr72 said:
Those were popular on tow trucks and snow plows in Massachusetts in the 1970s. Amber front/ red rear.

Wow that dome is a great find!
I guess you could canibalize the beacon by replacing the strobe with opposing Aerodynic PAR36 bulb holders, add a flasher to the amber side. Then find an identical blue Yankee beacon for the passenger side... mount them on an aluminum channel with a chrome siren in the middle... Would that be a CA Spec Visi-Yankee!??

I would have to do some research to verify, but I think strobes are much more loosely controlled than halogen and leds in T13.
Yeah, I just love those Yankee domes. They were all over the place around here when I was growing up ( A process that I still haven't perfected).
I just bought the amber one that he had.
As Dan, and I have said before, Amber front & Red rear was extremely common on tow trucks , snow plows, etc.
Looks to be the smaller Yankee dome. If that was large enough to fit a 354 four beam light, I would be on my way to Johns house to get it.
It got here today and the lense has no seam. It must be made the ultra-toxic unit spitfire way. It's double flash.
