    Got a couple of these lights at auction this week. Presented as caboose lights but searching online has yet to get me anything. Can't find anything similar. Reflectors are ceramic ftonoshed, are about 10" in diameter and set loosely on the base. There is a switch just under the glass though too much corrosion to make work unfortunately. The underside reveals what appears to be a battery compartment (dry cell likely) and there are 3 fixed pins at 0, 90 and 180 degrees and nothing at the 270 mark. Try ing to discover what era these are from and what there function was. Any help is appreciated
