Westy ID help please

Hi.
I'm trying to identify a bell-shaped pendant Westy incandescent luminaire. I don't think it's an AK series since the reflector bell screws permanently to the head. An Alzak reflector snaps inside the bell. The glassware is similar to the Cuplight - in this case a USC type 2001 gumball. Does anyone know the correct form number for this lamp and the approximate vintage (as in pre-AK series or post-AK series?)
Thanks!

She's a beauty! But sorry, I don't have any information on it.
I'd take a guess and say it's maybe from the 40s or 50s? I think by the 60s they had developed the standard "NEMA head" latch-on optics.

Jace the Gull got me thinking based on his comment on another thread and I tracked it down to be a 24M Cuplight. I realize we tend to call a lot of Westy gumballs cuplights but this appears to be the real Cuplight.

Ah I see. Glad you were able to name it.
Very nice lights, that's for sure.
