    Motolamp what year is it ???

    I have a motolamp that came on my "34 VLD. Turns out its an Indian model. I have not figured out how to post pictures on the form yet ( I'm to stupid ) . I will try to describe it.
    It a non focus , it does not have the focus screw , the bezel is not split but fastens at the bottom with a knurled screw& clip. It has the rectangular insulator block , curved lens with " Motolamp " at the top & Corcoran- Brown Lamp Co. on the bottom inside. The shell has " MOTOLAMP " stamped on the top.
    Any one know what year & model ? And what it might be worth ?
    Thanks, Mike

    Dear Mike, I'm not an Indian expert but the bakelite terminal block makes it look like the version introduced around 1939/40 which we also see on the Indian military bikes. The Harley/Indian 1933/4 Motolamp has the focus screw in the back and a slightly smaller lens.
