Guest JohnRawlins Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 (edited) Hi,I actually found this in my father's airplane hangar. It's got a fancy looking lens marked: Warner Lens June 25, 1912 36 D = 9 1/2 JThe housing has no markings that I can find however the bracket shows a large "2109". It might have been a spare for something in dad's collection. The collection included the following: Two Willy-Knight's, a couple of 1914 Buicks, 1925 Chrysler, 1929 Stutz, and a 1930 Ford. I no longer have any of the vehicles.Best regards,JohnP.S. There are some other headlights and oil side lamps that I'll probably inquire about too so stay tuned.

MarrsCars Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Here are a few links to similar lenses for you to research. From the little I read it seems they were made by Warner and used on cars including Stutz and Cadillac.WARNER lenz model t model a brass Stutz headlight lens Classified Ad - Trumbull Parts and Accessories For Sale on iNetGiantFord Woody: 1922 | Shorpy Historical Photo Archive1911 Cadillac Warner Patterson Headlight Lenses « Tony Noonan vintage Parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Lichtfel Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 My 1917 Peerless is the same. The rim is different, not hinged. The glass is the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Layden B Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 The mounting fork is Overland, will let you do the research to see if that is a big clue to the lamp!The lens is probably aftermarket replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete K. Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Also Stutz of the late teens used those "pokie-dot" lenses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JohnRawlins Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 >Try these guys...old car lenses home<Hmm, his web site says 'please do not email me to identify lenses'. Maybe I'll check with him anyway. The worst he can do is tell me to get lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
