Below are some pictures of a pair of Castle Model 1106 lamps off an old Model T speedster I'm working on. I'm not looking to restore them, but to get them functioning either as gas or electric headlight. The car is nice enough, at least for me, that I do not want to do a restoration, but preserve what is there. Just get it cleaned up and repair what needs repairing so that it is a running driving car. I'm looking for someone who has the parts and can repair these lights or a place that I can get parts and do them myself.

Looks to me like you’re needing 2 reflectors and 2 burners. What else John ? The Lancaster Glass Co. reflectors are rare as hens teeth and sounds like you’re not building it for a Stynoskie run - so just go with T suppliers reflectors. I might be able to help you with 1 burner assembly.

George thank you. I know absolutely nothing about Castle Lamps and not that much about gas lamps in general. You are correct in that I am not going for a Stynoski Award. That's just not me. I would like to put the lights back together with original parts if possible. I don't need perfect but I do like stuff period correct if I can. I am first going to try and find some correct parts. If that doesn't work there is always plan B. Thank you again.
