This unmarked Crank Tubular dash lantern has the Paull's double reflector.
This Imperial Crank is double marked B. S. Co., and several collectors have told me it was made by Buhl. I have no documents to confirm this and it looks like a Nail City to me.
I can see why there are not many Nail City's left, the flex tube corners was a poor design and the materials were too thin. It's hard to find one that is not rusted out or the corners not cracked into pieces.
