    I found this headlight at an auction and couldn't let it get away. I think it is from the teens since it is a carbide acetylene light. What is the big question is the lens. I have never seen a lens that looks like that. Not sure if it is supposed to be a fog light lens or just decorative lens or what. Would appreciate any info you guys could give me on it. Thanks in advance.

    I'm not sure about the lens, but I think I may have the matching headlight. Any interest?

    HI, I just now saw your reply. Thanks for the offer but I have several other lights like this already but not one with this lens. I'll p*** for now. Thanks.
