Hello everyone,

December has been good to me for rare Dominion finds this year :)

I got 3 hard to find Dominion Auto clear tops. They were all from the Ontario Provincial Police(O.P.P) in the past, with 2 clear and 2 red 4416s.
1 older SAF-T-RAY blue round top 357. Inner workings of this blue round top are not what I'm used to see. The date on the motor seems to be early 70's. There is no visible brush contact. (Richard P, I think you know the story for this light. Please chime in.) The bulb holder is also different. Where it usually is a straight through pole, this one is halfway resting on the lamps themselves, with no visible brush contact. The dome is in good shape overall, very dark blue when OFF, but once lit, is is almost clear looking; it's a bit strange, but I guess this can be expected from a lens at least 40 years old.
Last but not least is a tall base red 357 Round top from an old fire engine. One clear round top was restored and posted in the "clear beacon thread". Too bad both round tops have either very faded or completely gone ID plates but I can't complain at this point.

Enjoy!
