My wife does stained glass windows as a hobby, and the last time I was dragged along on a shopping trip to her supplier, I noticed bins full of "jewels" which are often incorporated into art glass windows. They are available in every color of the rainbow, and appear to be very similar to the one in my car.

Well thanks for the information. I may just find what I want because it seems like the color is not so inportant. I really don't plan of having my car judged now or any future time. I just wanted what was acceptable in there. These dash boards are so beutiful having something not correct would kinda take away from it. Thanks again all...

My '37 (a reenumbered '36) has a Sinko lighter as shown in the link on charlesflick's post. While the image there may appear orange, I think it is red, mine at least is.

I have had what I believed to be originals and the eye was green. I have since traded them for Auburn parts. Charlie Saganek has reproduced The lighter.

The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.
