hearse vases

From an upcoming live auction. Auctioneer states these each came off hearses. I can't place them. Can you? :confused:

Happy to pass along auction info privately if one has been the object of multi-year quest to complete a coach...
 
The small one looks like ones I've seen inside some of the late '20's hearses but then again they could have come in limos as well.

Atti; These are cool but only really desirable as collectibles if they have the correct, original matching 'brackets' w/ holding-screw to fix them to the window posts. The small one had a fastener that allowed the vase to clip into it while the larger one had a sterling silver 'hoop', for the lack of a better term, that screwed into the window post. I saw some in a Henney years ago. The larger one really just needs cleaned up. I mounted a few pair in the newer hearses for 'effect' but, it's hard to justify drilling holes to hang them. The last thread was correct; they were primarily used in Limo's and large Sedans for overcoming the odor of wet mohair, damp leather seats or just for beauty. I had over 100 at one time. I even mounted on next to my wife's boudoir and it looks great- if any members are trying to think of a great Christmas gift for the wife!
