Hi guys, I picked these up over the weekend at a local swap meet. They are Riteway Headlamp headlights. The seller told me they were an aftermarket accessory in the 1930's, but I'm unsure of this. The buckets measure about 9" in diameter and 11.5" in length. They've been "converted" to use a sealed beam light. I've done some searching on the internet, but I haven't found any information that tells me anything about these lights. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank in advance!
I could be wrong, but looks like you got some late 30's Packard lights. Maybe Chrysler, but I think Packard.
Later Dodge would have had a marker lamp or a trim piece along the top. Without the lens your on a bit of a wild goose chase. If not Packard they could be Hupmobile.
late 30's Mopar -- Plymouth or Dodge most likely. The two thinner rings are to convert to sealed beams. The outside rings aren't Mopar, maybe Chevies. I've owned several of these cars (currently have a '37 Plymouth), and they all have Riteway stamped into the headlites.
36 Plymouth with a sealed beam conversion. The pocket in the bottom recesses the mount and the wiring. Bob
Yep, they would have had a regular reflector, incandescent bulb, and a really thin trim ring to retain the gl*** originally.
