Up for sale is a single vintage, original C.M. Hall Lamp Company clear glass \"Depress Beam\" headlamp lens. This authentic piece of American automotive history features the classic vertical and horizontal optical prism patterns designed to control early fixed-focus beams.
Dimensions:
Approximately 8-1/2\" x 9-5/16\".
Markings Extensively Cast Into Glass Rim:
• PART 11471
• 55-N
• DEPRESS BEAM
Condition Notes:
• Glass Clarity: The optical face is bright with great clarity. Minor surface scuffs, faint storage scratches, and typical light road patina consistent with its age. No major surface cracks running through the face.
• Flange Edge: There is a small chip located on the outer mounting rim/flange (clearly highlighted in the listing photos). This chip is contained purely within the mounting edge area. It does not compromise the structure of the face or block the optical path. Once nested inside a metal headlamp bucket bezel/rim, this chip should be completely hidden and out of sight.
