This type of marker light was used on gallery (bi-level) cab control cars on the Chicago & North Western and other roads' suburban services in the Chicago area. I am sorry I can't provide the manufacturer or model number of the marker. I hope someone else on this board can; if not, the C&NW's specification for their cars should be available from the Pullman Library at IRM and might include this information. As to finding a pair - I know where there are several, but they are in use by Metra as elevator call lights in their headquarters building.

I remembered seeing a few of these on Flea-bay a while back, and a quick google search says Pyle National.

You might try looking for info on the Railroad and Railway Lantern Collector's Facebook page. The members also collect railroad markers, could probably give you some more information about the lamp in the photo, and might be able to point you in the direction of one for sale.
