I have 4 different lamps on my bed.
The one I prefer is this one:

Anyone who recognize where it comes from.
I need to find 3 more, or four similar to this one.

My COE had Arrow armoured clearance lights from the 1950s. The company still exists and I was able to order new lights that were essentially identical, only 12 volt. I have not installed them yet but all I will have to do is change the bulb to 6 volt.

Looking through their catalogue they have similar lights to yours but without the metal strip across the lens.
Try this link and scroll through the pages to see the different lights.

You will have to call them to order. They provide products for truck and bus manufacturers, not the usual consumer but they will talk you through an order.

What kind of lamp is it, and how many do you have?

Grampsold54,
I don't recall the exact cost the of the Arrow lamps but I think they were modest. I am out of town away from my files right now. I will find the invoice, lamp model number and post later.

The lamp is the same, except the lens is plastic instead of glass. Most importantly, they fit in the recesses in the metal bed frame, with the right spacing of bolt holes.
