Plind, original glass with the Ford script on the top is a tough item to find. However, I do have reproduction lenses that have the script on top and are identical to the actual lenses. Contact me at a495dean@gmail.com.

Plind,
A little more information on the reproduction fluted lens with script at top:
They were made in the early 70's, the mold was made from a original lens and it cost the man $1000.oo for the mold, each lens he had made was an additional cost, the lens are made of pyrex glass just like the originals, the mold no longer exists. According to Al Lepore, some years ago, a mold today would run around $10,000.oo.
If you find a need for additional sets, after getting the set Dean has made available to you, you can contact me as I have some additional sets available.
I just showed my Dec. 1927 Very Early A in fine point judging at the MARC National in San Diego, the lens went through with flying colors.

Thank for info, i have still my own on the Tudor. But the left i hit by a flying stone and make i small hole in glass...
I think that a kind of glue can make it ok again.. If i not can get an original, i´ll try to repair them..
But if not,? what is this price for a godt repro of flutet lenses.??
Best regards...
