Default Re: What are these?

They look like BOSCH fender lights from the 1930s. Here is the reference from a French version of the era BOSCH catalog:



So yours would be the first ones listed, part: L 75 S 104 "housing black, border chrome, mat glass".

The title states: "SIDE LANTERNS (Position Lights), with mounting bracket for the front fender of the car, for cars and trucks, 75mm hole size, mounted (held in place) with a nut"

It looks like there might even be a BOSCH logo in the center of the lens on your left light in your first photo?

Hope that helps,
Brad in Maryland

Brad, you need to be a detective! After closer look one bezel does say "Bosch Germany" ....yes looks like the other bezel was replaced at some point.

Yep, I'm pretty sure it was Brad who solved the Lindberg kidnaping case.
