New headlights from the swap meet!!!

Picked up a set of headlights from the swap meet today. Hoping someone here might know what their off of.
The glass says Chevrolet at the top, then the bottom says Tilt Ray Headlamp.
I didn't know it when I bought them, but there is a small bulb socket near the top of the lens.

3 vendors at the swap meet guess between 32 and 34 chevy car. I'm really hoping to have them fall in the 30's decade so as to keep the All Era Rat theme

tiltray is the name of the actual glass...
but - i think chevy switched the style of lights around 38 or 39 - so
without having them to look at in my hand id say with confidence they are pre 39.

No clue but they look cool.

My guess is 35 or 36 because of the curved lens. Seems the olders were flatter and the newer 37,8,9 had a longer shape bucket,but I could be wrong.lol

Definitely '36 or earlier. '36 was the last year you could get chrome buckets, and only on Master Deluxe models. '37 Chevys had painted buckets, and they are longer like sneakysnake said.

This is a '37-'38 Chevy bucket.

Well it sounds like a 36 then I saw a set of 31 headlights there too with flat glass. I don't know when the changed from flat to curved.
Thanks for everyone's input! Can't wait to get these on the rat [cl

All American auto makers switched from flat lenses in 1931 to curved glass lenses in 1932
And kept getting smaller..
1932-9+"
1933-34 just under 9"
1935-36 8"
1937-39 7"
and most all switched to sealed beams in 1940

helps with all makes.. cheers !
