WTB 1925 and earlier headlight buckets

If you have the entire headlight, great. I really only need a quality set of buckets with minimal to no pitting.

I have a couple of very good sets - can ship to Canada via USPS Priority Mail. Will add photos for 3 sets
Set #1 The set was in very good condition and the inside paint was most intact so I wire brushed of the loose paint and sprayed with clear coat. The outside was soaked in a phosphate solution and residue wire brushed of then primed to prevent further oxidation. Some pitting and a small dent in the one. No rust through and the notches for the headlight ring are solid

Set #2 I was intending to use these for my Speedster but going with a different set, They were professionally bead blasted and coated with a powder coat primer. They were pitted but the powder coat left a very smooth finish. I started to paint them but different finish them off.

Set#3 needs work. were soaked in phosphate and the residue wire brush off. They have pitting and need a few minor repairs. One needs the socket retainer replaced as shown.
