Looking to identify cowl lights in order to sell

[one hammer head]

As I noted in another post - I am doing some cleaning up around my workshop and found these cowl lights.  I suspect that they are from a car in the 'teens' due to the way the lights attach to the mounts. The lens has a couple of numbers on it:  1008 and L-299.  The diameter of the lens out of the light is approximately 3 5/8".

Thanks for any info you can provide.  Jay Self

I would guess 1927-29 era. Not sure of make. The lights probably were used on several makes , the brackets are car specific.

I felt that the brackets looked very specific with the 'notch' to allow for another piece of trim to run perpendicular to the cowl light mounting.  Thanks for your reply - really hope that some one that has a pair already and knows what they are for will speak up at some point also  Jay

The notches are probably so that the trim fits over a belt molding.

That is basically what I was trying quite unsuccessfully to say - thanks for clarification.  Jay

look like 1929 Hudson or Essex

Those are a little different as the notch on the Essex and Hudsons are not at the base of the stem like the items in question.

After looking at the photo of the car it does raise the question of whether the lights are currently mounted right side up or upside down as they are now.  Thanks, Jay
