That seems too big, typical Ford gas headlamps use 8 1/2" dia., the elec. headlamps 8"

I just measured a NOS Ford script 1921? green visor lens, and it's 8 1/8.

I thought they may fit some of the early gas lights. Maybe Victor, E&J, or Corcoran. I had hoped they would fit the JNO Brown lights Im getting for the 14 speedster, but no luck there. I would like to find out if they fit any of the other gas lights before I haul them to Chickasha ... Thanks for the input ...
