Studebaker  1920

1918 Studebaker.  A  pressed steel "cup" is bolted to the light with the domed nut and these are then bolted to the mudguard. You can see the faint outline where the cup is attached to the light.

Thanks guys , fast work . I never would have guessed on my own.

Looks like the Liberty uses the same mounting as Studebaker?

I need to find a new owner now that I can narrow done the ID.

Liberty was the lens manufacturer.

Yes , there also was a Liberty automobile in 1916. Liberty is the model of the glass? McBeth-Evans glass co  the maker ?

I'm pretty sure Studebaker didn't make these lights , but they did use them. Would be interesting to know if their lens said Liberty.

I would think several makes of the time period used them.  I posted it in the Parts for sale section.

Be glad to hear of other makes.

Many years ago I had a 1924 Special Six Studebaker which had very similar if not exact lights, the liberty lens was the factory used lens. Good luck with them.
