Blue Glass Lens

[ToddsPoint]

Does anyone know what this lens came off of? It has to be ornamental I'd think. Blue is not a color for car lights, airplanes, or boats that I know of. Gary

I was thinking some type of insulator also. Is there a channel over the top? Where found?

This is a pic from a bicycle forum. They thought it had something to do with bikes. I don't think so. I don't know any details. It looked to me like the groove possibly had a wire bail but not sure. Thanks for the look. Gary

 

[bradyboy]

please show more pics
of each end
need to know if there any holes on either end
like being wired for holding a bulb
where you found it, history

 

[bradyboy]

is it glass or plastic?

Well, it's a weird shape for an insulator. It has a profile that looks like it could mount on a fender. Maybe the groove has to do with how it mounts to a bike fender?

If it,s plastic it might be from a broken water pistol or ray gun type of toy,had abunch of those back when I was a kid.Way back!!

I'll try to get more pics. Thanks. Gary

Nope. The angled base is what makes it different. If they used blue on boats, that's probably what it was from. It is definitely glass. Gary

Almost looks like a cab light from a semi but when you said it's glass I think that eliminates that idea.

Then it would be a starboard light.

There were stern ones as well.

I think its from something like this... which is rare... not sure if I am right.

What a strange and unique website, AARC.
I guess you really can find just about anything on the internet these days.
