"Automobile Lamps," Gray & Davis, 1909
01
Artifact Overview
Early automobile lamps functioned more as a warning to other people on the road than as an aid to the driver. Kerosene oil and acetylene gas were both used to fuel lamps early in the 20th century, until electric lamps became common in the 1910s. This catalog shows a variety of lamps manufactured by Gray & Davis of Amesbury, Massachusetts.
