I have one large (12" OD) brass fork-mounted electric headlight bucket, probably ca. 1913-1915. Fork-mounted, with the fork mounts being 10 1/2" center-to-center. Missing the reflector and one mounting bracket as well as some hardware. The bucket is dented in a bunch of places but the ring is quite nice. Probably from a fire truck or fancy bus or something along those lines. You pay shipping and it's yours. Sorry if this is off-topic but Model T guys seem to be the only ones who are really interested in this kind of stuff.
Thanks for looking!

Nope, it's electric, just real early. It could possibly be aftermarket for retrofitting earlier vehicles to electric.

No ventilation holes for gas burner. Definitely electric and just after gas lamps as Rodger stated.

That may be for a Cadillac.
