Tiger-Ey

Tiger-Ey

If the texture of rust makes my teeth feel gritty, I have to have the shot. This, left as color scan of mono negative.

You are getting close enough to the subject with those tubes no wonder you can feel the grit.
Nice doing.
I am curious about the color - is the pyro stain translating into this with the negative to positive change?
Also got curious about the Tiger-Ey trademark - had to look up on-line. Unfamiliar with such things, i couldn't tell that this was a bezel light without that clue.
 
Hey Michael. 'Color is all about the scan :sad: to a color neg. Any mono neg from any soup I've tried looks similar. Between the 'Tiger Ey' and 'HexFlex' and the busy restoration groups, I would bet there's stuff to be found about the lights. This was on about a mid 30's Chevy dually work truck, adorning a storage yard, along w/ some other interesting equipment like the grain drill, a heavy multi-stage winch mounted on logs for dragging - red meat for a rusty metal guy.
 
I found the patent trademark certificate, then a restoration site showed a Tiger-Ey replacement for 1931-1936 Chevy truck.
Fun stuff, Finding, Fotographing, Fawning over rust. You, and @DWThomas do awesome in those environs. Love it.
