Anybody have an idea of what this is from.
The glass seems to have a ghost oval in it?
Never seen that before. The park assembly piece is different also.
Any ideas?
Thanks Rory

Date-coded June 1954. The rim has a two-rivet tab.
All the parts appear to be original and matching. _________________ Thanks,

Not totally mysterious. Same as my Canadian delivered February of 54.
That lens in that condition is fantastic. Mine are repro and I paid a lot for that vestigial oval.
My ring has only one rivet though, hella and an arrow pointing up.
