sleeve-valve Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Each headlight is 11 inches diameter, 6 1/2 inches deep, mounts on forks that are 9 1/4 inches apart OC. The rim is held on to the bucket with 2 pins. The reflector has holes for 2 bulbs. On the lens: 'Brown Stabilite Head Lamp Fixed Focus The John W. Brown MFG Co Columbus OHIO USA' also 'Designed for Mazda No. 1110 I.G.C. Pat Applied for. A-12 Made in USA 8 11/16 x 9 7/16 444 CB 1721'. Thanks.

Marty Roth Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Strictly a guess, but based on the mounting brackets- Could these be an aftermarket electrified item, designed to retrofit to a Brass-Era vehicle, where forks held a carbide (or Presto-Lite) lamp ? Obviously, the center hole is for a headlight bulb, and the hole closer to the rim would be for a parking light bulb. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drwatson Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 They might be truck. In any event they're beauties. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sleeve-valve Posted April 2, 2021 Author Share Posted April 2, 2021 I searched Google Images for all combinations of the years and makes that the lens fit and could not find anything close. I found this picture, I think it is a Daniels Submarine Speedster or Roadster from the early 1920s. The headlights look like a possible match, with different lenses of course. What do you think?
