I thought these were Marchal fog and spot lamps. Evidently not.

Anyone know what make? From 1960s.

Note the 'cat's whiskers' style on glass of rh fog lamp glass. I'm pulling my whiskers out trying to find the make!

Is there nothing on the glass at all? most glass has something!
The R/H one certainly looks like a Marchal, but should have "575" or something, the casing will also have detail stamped on the back....or is it just the photo you are trying to ID?

Photo!

Even enlarging the pic doesn't help. The only thing apart from the 'whiskers' is the top of the lamp rim (centre) part looks triangular shape. Not Wipac, nor Lucas.
I have been message by someone who is convinced they 'are' S.E.V. Marchal 610s, and have the 'whisker' glass on the fog, but not the triangular shape at the top.

We shall see. I'm hoping not as I'm after a pair and apparently they command around 400 quid a pair!

I am sure they are Marchals. The larger ones are much less expensive than the smaller ones as these were used on exotica, sometimes as indicators (as Rolls & Bentley did with Lucas spots in the 60's. I sold a pair of useable larger dia ones a couple of years back for around £80 as I recall.

Yep, you're right. 100% Marchals. Def 610s, but just been told there are different versions. Pointed to some 610 ones on ebay now (see below) at almost £400 pair! from USA, but these don't have that strange triangular bit at the top of the rim.
Anyway, big thanks for help.
