motoringicons Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Just got these today from an estate sale. I have seen them before-maybe even owned a set just like these-but, can't remember what kind of car they are from for the life of me. The lights themselves measure about 5" in width. They are solid brass but appear to have been painted at some point and the rims are nickel plated brass. They have curved lenses in the front with beveled glass side lenses and clear jewel marker lenses on the rear. Very high quality. I don't see a manufacturer's marking. Thanks in advance.

sagefinds Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Locomobile has that octagon shape on some of their lamps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Layden B Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Try this Kissel They were made by Solar and are called French Style. Gray and Davis interpretation of French Style are seen on Cadillacs. Picture was taken in Diablo California about 5 miles from where I live. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motoringicons Posted June 27, 2022 Author Share Posted June 27, 2022 Thanks, Layden. Looks like they are miniature versions of the headlamps. I knew if anyone knew it would be you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Layden B Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Another picture of the same car with a 1914 Cadillac ( Gray and Davis French Style) in the foreground. The octagon Solars are Kissel only I believe. The brackets on yours are also Kissel only. Years ago I saw pair on a Kissel truck at Joe Earsland's in Chickasha OK.

nzcarnerd Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Coincidentally Al Donze posted these on a facebook page of a 1914 Locomobile at a show in Ohio recently - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Layden B Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Note that the Locomobile lamps are not French Style. These are acorn shaped backs, they do not have an hour glass shape front to back. Still very good looking lamps also made by Solar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
