SOLD: Great Pair of Large Bausch and Lomb Nickel Plated Drum Headlamps 1915-1925

SOLD!!!


A great pair of nickel plated Bausch and Lomb headlamps which would date about the late teens through the mid-1920s. These lights would be used on finer American and European cars of this classic era. This is a large pair that measure about 12 1/2" across, 7" in depth and about 11 1/2" across from mounting hole to mounting hole. The Bausch and Lomb script lenses are in excellent condition and have the desirable purple color to them. The lamps are in very good and original condition with nice nickel plating that does not appear to have been polished. There is a slight split to the brass shell on one of the lamps which looks fine especially if you want to use these as-is on an original car. They can be polished and they will clean up to look great on an original car or could be easily restored. These are complete with the focusing levers/mechanisms, rim latches with thumb nuts, acorn nuts, and include a pair of mounting cast iron forks. Take a look at the photos and call me if you have any questions.



The price is 595.00 including shipping via FedEx including insurance in the USA.



Please call me directly at 734-730-4274 or email: motoringicons@hotmail.com

Thanks!

These are 1923-24 Lincoln Model L. They don't fit anything else. The lens and wire conduit can be changed to make them fit up to 1926. Check the bodies and rims for stress cracks. The cracks can't really be repaired. They did make new spinnings in the 1970s for that reason. The internals are steel and can rust severely. Hard to find in flawless condition, but rather common otherwise. Few cars that might need this are being restored. I know - I am the technical advisor for the Lincoln Owners Club for what it is worth. Let's hope they find a home.
