Brackets just don't look right to me, but there's always that one early car that had something different ha ha.

Brackets are NOT Ford or model T, and do not look like anything I would recognize. The headlamps are not shown well enough to identify them.
The forks (brackets) are very unusual. Might be off a truck? Many trucks used acetylene headlamps well into the 1920s.

Fits "model T" is the catch all car for any old parts.
Typical in eBay offerings.
As always, buyer beware.

Could they be used sure but that would depend on how far apart the holes in the mounting brackets are. For what they are, think a bit overpriced and there are lots of carbide lamps on eBay that are correct.

They aren’t the type used on a brass T.

I’m not sure about the headlights, but the brackets sure look like what belongs on my 1906 Cadillac M

Those are later, plain-jane lamps with no brass and were most likely on a truck as others have mentioned.
They aren't worth anywhere near the asking price.
If the brackets are from an early Cadillac, they are worth something but not the asking price.
