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.

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.
