Artifact Overview
Ford Motor Company introduced electric headlights to the Model T for 1915. The lights were powered by the engine magneto. Some early 1915 lamps featured brass trim, but Ford soon settled on all-steel headlights painted black. The lamp in this photo was stamped to identify its supplier: Edmunds & Jones Corporation of Detroit.
