FS: Model T Ford Right Sidelight & Taillight
Model T Ford Right Sidelight & Taillight. The sidelight is in nice condition and complete. The taillight has a good size dent in the side and the burner is missing but could be easily restored. The glass is all in good condition. Located in Libertyville Illinois but I am willing to ship. $50 for the pair.

Re: FS: Model T Ford Right Sidelight & Taillight
They both look to be tail lamps. One appears to be a Ford-O late oil taillamp, while the other is a typical 1918 to mid 1920s taillamp. Hard to tell from the photos. Can't make out the colors of the glass. Glass in either case may have been replaced at some time however.
These type sidelamps from the Ford factory never had a smaller side lens facing out, However, the companies that manufactured the oil lamps for Ford also made after-market and replacement lamps to be sold by others. Those did include similar style sidelamps which did have the second lens facing out to one side. Those could be purchased and used as replacement sidelamps. Or were also sold for commercial use on trucks to be mounted on the back of the cab so workers could see in the night to load trucks for early deliveries. You don't see them used that way very often. However, I have seen a few era photos showing those lamps used that way.
And, I have a pair of those lamps myself. That is why I noticed them in a few pictures.
