Violet Ray Headlight Lens Ad - Vintage Ford Model T Era Accessory Brochure
Vintage sales literature page advertising the Violet Ray Lens headlight, with product description and per-pair pricing.
This document is a scanned page from a vintage automotive accessory catalog or brochure advertising the "Violet Ray Lens," a headlamp lens accessory. The page includes an illustration of the round lens, showing its distinctive faceted/prismatic pattern with a fluted center section and concentric chevron-style ribs, surrounded by a knurled rim. The accompanying text promotes the lens's performance: it claims to light the road directly ahead with the clarity of daylight while providing equal light diffusion to either side, so that a pure, clear, even luminant reveals the entire road. The advertisement argues that allowing a driver to see the road at night as clearly as by day removes a great source of danger. It also emphasizes appearance, noting that while some useful devices detract from a car's looks, the Violet Ray Lens is attractive and adds distinctiveness to any car. The pricing line states that the lens is available in all sizes at $3.00 per pair. The document gives no year, manufacturer name, part numbers, or specific vehicle applicability, though it was uploaded in association with a 1915 Ford Model T and nothing in the text contradicts that era of vehicle.
