It's from a 220b or a 190 fintail. There is no 230SE. The 250SE is a W108 that used a different taillight.

There is a part number on it, please post it. It starts with 110.

Thank you!

Thank you very much Gentlemen! After careful inspection I have been unable to find an MB part number anywhere on the light which is why I posted the inquiry. I aquired it as part of a collection of parts that I know originated in Germany and it appears to be a very high quality aftermarket part.

The link provided by Mr. Dalton has a picture of the vehicle's rear that clearly shows this light and confirms the info provided by all! With regard to the "amber insert", this would be correct also, in my picture it appears to be amber but it is in fact a dark red area when viewed straight on in real life. It seems that from the camera's angle it is only showing amber because the flash caught one specific angle of the prizm reflectors inside that opaque area of the lens. The entire lens is actually a rather dark red, I suppose the camera's flash helps it appear lighter in this picture.

Thanks again to all!
