    I'm Looking for some help. I looked thru 7 pages of headlight ID threads and found alot of BLC/Guide info but nothing on these.


    Picture 1 & 2
    The pair of headlight came out of my FIL's machine shed, along with some other fog lamps and tail lights. Back in the family hisotry there was an Uncle with a Studebaker/Hudson/Nash dealership if that helps. But they could be from anything really. I have not opened them up to se if any markings exist on the inside. And ther is no name on the outside to give me clues. See what you can do fellas.

    I also included a few more trinkets I'd like to have ID'ed as well.

    I believe the ones with the bumper iron mounts like this are driving lights and not headlights. Could be aftermarket or a high dollar car accessory.

    I thought that too, But they seem really fancy for extra driving lights.
    Alot of every day stuff was fancier than it needed to be in the 30's 40's 50's

    I've just gottat learn more so I can sell them to the right person.

    Jeff......................Thanks for the response guys!

  6. I think the light with the raised rib on top is unique. I have seen very few of them and really like them. My bud bought a set off evil bay for his tudor. The only others I've seen were on the Niekamp roadster and some old pictures. That's mho......

    I just did a quick google on the Niekamp roadster but didn't find any with these style headlights. Either they were missing or E&J's or 682-C's.

    Do you have pics that support, or pics of your buddies?

    They are a cool aftermarket headlight. I believe the Eddie dye (hope that's the right name) had them. Tom Branch had the car and sold it to someone to restore.

    I've got a set and we put a set on a friends car.

    It's been a month, time for a few new eyes to give these a look.
