MARS 888 FIRE TRUCK POLICE AMBULANCE VTG Old Beacon Ray rare BLUE Antique Light:
$779.99

Great for emergency vehicle restorations and parades, 1950s-60s police, fire or ambulance restorations where an \"Old School\" oscillating warning light was required for the emergency vehicle. It is a necessity where BLUE is the required color for police warning lights as old \"Chicago\", \"Southern Law\", or Sheriff\'s Car restorations. The light most likely will be a perfect fit for the restoration for any emergency vehicle, especially the early 1950\'s squad car, fire truck or ambulance with a sloped roof line.

It was found in an old garage that may have done old municipal vehicle repair and later may have also done vintage vehicle restorations or movie cars. It was wrapped in plastic, in an oldbox labeled:

“BLUE Roof Light for Old Southern Law 1950\'s Movie Sheriff Car ”

VINTAGE/ANTIQUE WARNING LIGHT is CLEANLOOKING and WORKS GREAT: 12VDC. The rare BLUE oscillating beacon warning light is fully operational. It should fit perfectly on any vintage Police, Fire Vehicle, or Ambulance. It oscillates fast, smooth in a \"Figure 8\" pattern and the high power sealed beam works. The light is approximately 8 1/2 inches high and 11 inches long. The base looks to be polished aluminum. It comes with an special mounting base for a curved roof line, perfect for the 1950\'s car or truck cab. The BLUE lens looks to be factory original heavy glass, in excellent condition, no cracks or chips. The BLUE colored glass lens seems to be very rare. The label is faded, with the number that looks to be \"7283\" and we are assuming it is a MARS 888 or some form of an old Beacon Ray? It looks closer to a MARS light. It is unusual or rare since BLUE is not a color that is offered with a MARS light and the similar Beacon Ray unit is no longer manufactured. (I\'ve been told by the owner that a beacon ray light could have be ordered with a BLUE lens.) The sealed beam bulb is extremely bright and draws a lot of amperage. There is some weathering, tarnish, scratches, blemishes on the chrome plated back case, but no cracks, minimal tarnish on the light\'s internal unit (as expected for a light of this age).

This item came from an estate, garage sale. I have no exact idea of theage of the light. The item is tested and working. I am not an expert in these items.
