Canoe lights

[Cecile Pfeiffer]

This is a watercolor painting my grandmother made in 1917. It is the canoe storage on the Raceway in Bridgeton, N.J. with their 1917 Morris Model A.
I'm particularly interested in the lamp on the bow. Can anyone identify it? Thank you. View attachment 60003

Big lights were popular on canoes in that era. The picture and links below show some similar ones.
