U. S. NAVY WW II MASTHEAD LIGHTThis great light was waterproof and sported 6 x 15 volts for very bright lights (2 only showing in the picture). Why 6 you ask? Because the light was positioned on top of the mast, making it hard to reach to replace a bulb during battle conditions, and if some burned out the others carried on! Polished and lacquered. Weight 15 pounds. |
