1950's or 1960's Vintage 49ers Lights

It being the 4th of July, I figured it would be appropriate to write about my lights...not firework lights, but 49er lights.  Over the years I've been looking for those "Odd" and vintage 49ers items.  Through my searches, I came across two odd looking lights.

The first light is a 8.5"x11" metal framed "Kezar Stadium".  As any well versed 49ers fan knows, Kezar Stadium was the first stadium of the 49ers until 1971 when the 49ers moved to Candlestick Park.  But I'm rather suspect of this light because the encasement seems to be of rather new metal, but the design of the "Kezar Stadium" front is the 1960's style "Shootin' 49ers Guy".  So, I picked it up anyway, because of it's odd style.

Rare metal framed 49ers Kezar Light

The other light is probably from the 1950's.  It measures 8"x 10"  and has a heavy base, with the base graphics saying "Go, Go, Go 49'ers!" and a 49ers player in a silver helmet.  It has an thumb-wheel switch that turns on the light in the base and a center metal post which slowly spins around.  There was nothing attached to the metal post. I figured at one point it was one of those rotating beer signs, but the sign doesn't have evidence that anything was attached.  So I decided to attach two of my older mini pennants to the post.  Now the pennants slowly rotate around.  First the yellow then the red and so on.

1950's 49ers Advertising Lamp

Another reason I strongly believe this is a 1950's advertising sign/lamp is because the players helmet is what the Niners helmets looked like back in 1955 or so. I'm pretty certain that this is from that mid-1950's period. Regardless, I love these odd little 49ers lamps, old or not.
