E_Johnson Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Spreadlight lenses were were standard equipment on some automobile headlights. For example, 1926-27 Model A (six cylinder) Hupmobiles had Spreadlight lenses in the factory-equipped headlights. I can't tell you what size, however. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fordy Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 My Series R Hupps use the Spreadlight lens (1923 & 24). I have a book somewhere that details what one but cannot for the life of me find it! I also have one that fits embossed with the Essex logo. I will go on a search mission later, but they look the same. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehandleman Posted June 30, 2023 Author Share Posted June 30, 2023 I saw the essex ones that had name on them but all lens I found did not have all those notch positions all around, hopefully you find the book. Thanks for both inputs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
