FoMoCo Headlights

I was going through my parts pile for my '65 F250 And one of the headlights caught mt eye.
Printed in the center "Made For Ford"
FoMoCo
Could it be 41 years old? Or maybe it is a Ford replacement. It is made by G.E.
I just wanted to share.

I had one too 'till about 2 years ago when I upgraded to halogens. I also wondered if it could've been that old. Surely not?
