Someone saw my recent post and sent me a PM asking how to visually identify a proper '15 set of lamps.
I'll share it here, someone else may want to save it also.
The windshield lamps are the same except the cap says E&J 8, and the lens is of course clear with no side glass.
My thanks again to the many forum 'friends' who helped me with advice and parts to make the package on the car complete and correct.

Yes, got the light correct for 15 but now you need to find and fit the right diff and spring for a 1915.

The encyclopedia doesnt clarify the description in anyway?
All it says is -
"LAMPS: Made by Edmond and Jones (E&J), Brown, Corcoran or Victor, all black and brass."
I would like some detail as explained above for the 1915 lamps if possible so I can clarify if mine are correct.
Thanks

Kevin,
Go to: the Encyclopedia, scroll down just a bit and hit the orange button titled "Go to the old version of the Encyclopedia", scroll down left margin to "Lamps" and pick the year.
The "blue" tab entries will show the associated lamp for the year and manufacturer. Not all the Brass & Black versions are shown so......
What do you have on your '14?
Ken

Here is some information from Ford Accessory Parts manuals & The Model T Encyclopedia (old & new). The issue I see is that there were many versions of oil lamp parts mentioned for 1913-1914 as unique part numbers but the parts diagram only referenced a generic part number. Referenced 1916 & 917 Accessory Parts manuals. Oil lamp bodies and are not referenced but if parts for Brown, Victor & Corcoran are specified would it follow that those lamps were used in years 1913-14 & possiblelater till inventory was used up?

Thanks Ken & Frank.
I havent seen my car in person yet (only a few photos), after several weeks waiting for a shipper that suited its planed to be picked up tomorrow and arrive here Thursday.
I intend to post pics and let the experts on here help me work out how much of it is original.
i'll see if I can find more following your directions.
Thanks again
