I got these in a box of model T parts.
At first I thought they were Wind Wings but they seem to have tinting between the layers of glass. So maybe sun visors. Heavy nickel plated. Approximately 6 by 16 inches.

Early style sun visors with tinted glass to reduce glare through flat windshields ?

Seems more like a pair of cowl mount windshield for racing car, or perhaps a pair rear seat tonneau windscreens, for like a '20's Buick or other larger car.

Thanks guys
I couldn't find anything close on the web
Windshields look close without tint.

Sun visors, they were common in larger luxury cars and busses, these glass sun visors were used well into the seventies in busses and coaches..

Packards had sun visors similar to those.
