Traffic light prisms

[Dropacent]

I’ve been looking for a period traffic light prism for a long time. They rarely show up on eBay and often for more $$ lthan I’m willing to pay. I hit an infield double the other day at a local antique mall. Both from 1926, both from Cleveland and I have a great use for both. The seller put his price tag on the moonbeam box and the young clerk took no time ripping it off, but other than that,very happy. If anyone wants to see the instructions, I’d be glad to share here AND , if anyone has any unusual ones that they don’t need, I’d be Interested in purchasing.

So these just glue to the windshield?

I have seen these on post war cars but never on a twenties car. Please post some pics once you get them installed.

Both of these have instruction to glue to the windshield. One has gummed tape, and the other has a little bitty tube of cement ( hard as a rock) I’ll see if I can lay the paper out enough to copy

Crystal clear epoxy would probably work good, but whatever is used, has to be very clear and mixed very slowly to prevent bubbles from forming throughout the glue. Jim Patrick

Thanks Jim, good advice. I’ve got a later Fulton brand in another car, and it works fine with just being held against the glass with a spring. I may see if I can do that first. If you ever check out eBay, the cheap Fulton prisms sell for $15. The real deal usually sells into the hundreds. The reason for that is the plastic ones don’t work.
