Hi Paul:
Airstream used a couple different brands of this style wedding cake
taillight over the years. I don't have any year-by-year breakdown
between factories, but know that the Ohio factory in 1964 used a
Reflect-O-Lite lens that looks similar but has 6 mounting holes instead
of the 8 holes (I think) in the Bargman 99s. Your best bet to learn
what is original is to see what's now on your trailer, especially if the
lens is old. Good luck!
