Interesting Old Sealed Beam

[wings&wheels]

Visiting a friends restoration shop and one of their waiting projects is a Willy's Jeep 4wd Station Wagon, year TBD. Sort of a barn 'find', but it wasn't lost; it was parked several generations ago and left.

It had these very interesting sealed beams that I have never seen before, they have a ~1.5" projector type lens in the center surrounded by a conventional, older lens pattern. The bulb itself is a large balloon old style unit. I didn't see any manufacturer markings just; "TOP", "Sealed Beam", "988" and an emblem of maybe a C or G in a circle.

Thought it was interesting, didn't find much info out there after a brief search.

The G probably is the manufacturer name which could be Guide.

I was thinking the same after doing some research, thanks.

I need to get in this at night and see the pattern.

Agree: it's probably Guide. (Which is, IIRC, actually GM.) Is it a 6V light?

The grille resembles a friend's '52 (I think) Willys Overland. 2 door, Hurricane 6 and a free wheel device which turned it into "OWD" (One Wheel Drive) to save fuel.
