Warren,
My guess would be the Bargman No. 2. That is what my 1954 Liner has.
They are very rare, they show up on Ebay from time to time, in fact there is
one glass lens and two chrome rings now. Vintage Trailer Supply has
replacement plastic lenses. The restored ones on Ebay go for quite a bit.
They were used on many early 1950's. trailers. I picked up two for a reasonable
price, replaced the bulb sockets and had the rings re-chromed.
