Finds No. 7 - Headlight Glass


I have to say I didn't see this one coming. I grew up with a Dad who had his own automotive repair shop and bought and sold restored vehicles, so auto parts are nothing new to me. But I have to admit I am a bit jealous of the person who thought to turn the glass from the 1940s auto headlight glass into art. 




The headlight glass on iron stands were recently featured at an antique show in Hunt Valley, Maryland.

How cool are these? I've read that in the 40's the car buyer could actually choose the glass design for their car headlights. What a great find for accessorizing home decor. I want one....or two.
