Looking for a 14" diameter vaseline/mirrored glass locomotive headlight reflector to fit a Golden Glow locomotive headlight i am trying to restore that i recently bought for display purposes.The brass tag on top of the headlight is stamped "GFB1412". It doesn't have to be a 100% perfect one,if some of the silver mirrored finish has worn off the backside where it rested against the felt around the outer back edge or around the center hole where the light bulb goes in or if one has some light scratches on the front or some small outer edge chips i can live with that as i could possibly get it re-silvered.If you have a extra one for sale or know of anyone that does send me a message.

Thank's!

Do you have a picture what the reflector looks like, we might have some, but I would need to check our misc. Items boxes

Mike, There are only a few small broken pcs. of the original old glass reflector left that remain inside the case where that inside outer mounting ring holds the reflector in place.Behind that is a metal concave backing pc. with the center hole/light bulb socket wich the reflector fit up against.This headlight deffinately takes a 14" reflector as that is what the measurement is inside.I have a couple 12" loco headlights and they are smaller than this 14" one i'm trying to find a reflector for.

So far all i've been able to find for sale are the 12" reflectors.If you do happen to have a extra 14" one let me know,and how much you want for it. Thank's!
