Help with a clamshell light

Post by Dave A. » Sun Jul 17, 2022 7:08 am

I was cleaning up and found two clamshell lights. I believe they were used on halftracks and possibly some armor vehicles. Can anyone tell me what is a fair price for one of these.

Thank you.

I have several head assemblies (handle and shell) which came from a M577 TOC (the Armored Command Track version of the M113...) These were/are still used up into the 90's as part of the vehicle light set for the TOC extension (canvas back tent you erect for shelter)

Bottom Line I have had these for 20 years and taken them to Aberdeen, now Hagerstown for about that long, couldn't get $5.00 for one, but yours has the full wire, so it is worth more.
Point is they are not super rare, but if you needed one it would be expensive to locate and purchase. If you don't need one....plenty of them.
