  32-36 Unity Sportlite Junior Size

37-39 Unity Safetylight Standard Size

1940 Unity Model S-3

1941 Appleton Series 90 and also Unity Model S-3. The Appleton Spotlight is shown in the Ford & Mercury Accessories Brochures. Both Appleton & Unity Spotlights have Ford part numbers and are shown in the Ford chassis parts book.

1942 I'm not positive. I think it was a Unity spotlight either Unity Model S-3 or S-4. Which one I am not certain.

1946 - 1948 Unity Model S-5. In 1946 the S-5 was a bulb & reflector spotlight. Sometime in 1947 ( I think) Unity went to a GE sealed beam bulb for the Model S-5.

1948 Ford also sold a smaller 4 inch Standard-Thomson Spotlight. Announced to Ford Dealer late 1947.

1949 - 1952 4 inch Standard-Thomson Spotlight. Ivory handle grip 49-50 Black handle grip 1951 + 1952. 1949 - 1951 it was a post mount spotlight. In 1952 it was a door mount spotlight and had a little shorter shaft. The 1952 Ford spotlight has Ford parts code FAS on the rear point of the spotlight --- 1952 only.

1953 - Unity Model F Spotlight and also Unity Model H-1 with a FoMoCo badge.

1949 - 1953 Ford Also sold the larger Unity S-5 and then Unity S-6 spotlights for both trucks and cars.

I hope this answers your question. If not, send me an e-mail.
