Hi,
I do not know the car/vehicle it comes from, however it is a turning light
used on old cars/vehicles in an era (up to the 50's!) when traffic was very
low, very few cars around. There were two of them, one for each side of
the car: the driver just "raised" the one on the left side of the car if
he had to turn on the left and the one on the right if he had to turn on
the right. The bulb inside was for lighting this "turning light" in the
night.

I remember it when I was a kid and a teenager... and cars were solid/strong
and reliable without all these very costly hi-tech electronics devices...

Get Them Rolling!
