KingBee front light, what time era ?

[3W Hank]

I saw this lights today at a swapmeet, what era is it and how to get the correct glass ( 6V )
NO100-101.
Look at the tiny nice tail light ( trailer 30’s ? ) how can that look on a 32 5W.

Sealed beams arrived in 1940, and the king bee's were popular with rodders in the 50's or so. That small light is common as a cab marker light on Diamond T and International trucks from about 40 to 49 when cabs changed. Also used as marker lights on trailers and campers. I forget the brand name, its stamped on the rim I believe.

So this light was made in the 40’s.
Is it just pop on a sealed beam, and is that later than 40’s (?)

I had a set on my 34 3 window. I installed a female plug for a 12 volt dual sealed beam High and Low. It worked fine. JMO Jim T.
