Wow !
Yes that's exactly the information I was looking for, thanks very much John

It's funny, to me, you asking about the old marker lights. That's because the "third brake light" i mounted on the rear deck of my sidecar "for visibility after dark," is a glass-lens "Universal NiteOwl" from the thirties or forties. It's identified "Universal NiteOwl" on both the metal casing and the glass lens.

I think it was an aftermarket truck taillight in the old days. Cost me $3 in a tiny junk shop/"antique store," and I had the white license-plate-light lens opening blocked-off Small world!

grin that is way too funny, thanks for that information Gerry

I guess that makes me the "new" NiteOwl, though I do feel vintage many days. BTW, that is a fine looking machine, wow!

Thangs, Bob. That's "Ol' Tex." The story of how I found it behind a barn 40 years ago is in my sig, under "37UL.com." Tex, Joe Burkel and I have a plan to be at Oley in a couple of weeks. He lives in Nawf Cah-liiiina, and we're in Flah.

Keep axin' kweshchins, Bob. It's how us old farts pass along information. And you get the benefit of a whole jury of experts. Or ol' farts, ennyway!

GUIDE PH6. Early front and sidecar housing.

Do you have credible knowledge of exactly the lamps branded GUIDE were in use? I can't see it in factory photos.

I've seen more than ten guide housings, and many non-guide housings through the years. my original 39 fender/light I had years ago had a nice crisp "guide PH-6" on it. the original 41 one I have says it too, but not near as crisp as the 39 one. friend has original 46 one, has no guide on it. always thought that through the years of stamping these out and repolishing the "molds" or whatever ya call them, the lettering became fainter and fainter till it disappeared. just my observations.
