Starting in mid-1930, German assembled (and later manufactured) Model A's were equipped with OEM headlights made by BOSCH. As far as I know, no one has reproduced those German BOSCH Ford headlight lenses.
Here's what they look like:
There are five variations of these BOSCH/Ford lenses:
- Ford script on outside of lens
- Ford script on the inside of the lens
- Small dot-matrix oval around the Ford script
- Smooth line around the Ford script
- An embedded inside Ford script with no oval line (and no fluting through the script).
All have the word "TOP" at the top of the lens, with the number "200" on the top glass tab (the 200 indicates that the dimeter of the lens is 200 millimeters - a typical BOSCH marking).
It is Ford part number
AG-13060 (used mid-1930-1932) where the "G" in the part number indicates that it is a local German sourced part.
Here you can see the different colors of the glass when laid out on a white towel:
The one with the black paint residue was used during WWII as a black-out light....discovered in a horse barn, in back of a country Chateau, in eastern France, with unfortunately no sign of the rest of the vehicle - bummer....if only it could tell its story!
