Ford acetylene headlight info wanted

Post by jawa » Mon Feb 24, 2025 7:47 pm

I have this Ford: The Victor Lamp Co. acetylene headlight. It is a steel body with a brass rim. What year was this from? What is the chance of finding a mate to it?

Thank you

Adam

1913 I have the mate to it and have been looking for one for a few years to match it. My car has two but one is missing a chimney.

That’s a good piece. It still has the original door which is different from the model 2. Lots of folks call that a model 1.
The sidelights & tail light is different than the model 2’s also. I’ve got an extra tail lamp & I believe the pair of sidelights too. Best John

Thank you for the information. This one is in excellent shape and I hope to possibly find a match some day.
