Found Wanted: Colson Version of the Delta Ball Light (See pic)

[srfndoc]

I'm looking for this front light for a postwar Colson Deluxe Fully Equipped (grill tank). This is a Colson specific version of the Delta ball light (with the feather detail on top) in all chrome. Also note the spread between the mounting tabs is wider on this version (3/4") than a normal ball light.




There is a similar version for Rollfast but the rear of the light is painted instead of chrome.

Thanks!

Top style Delta just sold on Ebay in working condition. 2/3 days ago.

Yeah, have a saved search as of today but missed out on that one.
Thanks!

You sure that feather embossed light is specific to Colson? Seems to be more of a Rollfast piece.

Yes, confirmed on three different Colson postwar grill bikes.

You can see it here on Vince's 50' grill tank:

Here as well on Howard's grill tank:

You can kind of make it out on this one but tougher to see:

I'll keep my eyes peeled

fordmike65, its the same light, however the Colson version is ALL chrome, and the Rollfast has a painted rear ball section...
