Hello,
I'm in search of a pair of E&J headlights for my 1913. Looking for something restorable that would match the existing patina of my car. This car was original a touring, and was converted to a pickup and modernized a long time ago, maybe during WWII. My father-in-law owned it since the 1950's. This is my first post, but it does look like I was able to get a photo to display. The headlights on the car now are aftermarket electric lights, and the use the original mounting forks. They are non-functional, currently.
Any help is appreciated!

Re: E&J Headlights Wanted
That is a real gem Kevin. I hope you intend to keep it in that condition rather than restore it. Let it reflect it's journey through time.
I would not be in a hurry to replace the headlights. Those old electric ones are part of the car's story. They are likely more functional than the original gas lights. If you can find E&Js with the same patina that don't need restoring, you would gave the best of both worlds.
great find.
