Something kinda neat!
While repairing my 1913 Ford's Jno. Brown model 19 headlights, I found this manufacture's logo etched into the reflector glass before it was silvered. Neat! The original holding wedges are pot metal and badly fractured. I machined a 6.5" appropriately shaped ring out of a convenient sized chunk of bronze on the lathe, cut out the pieces, drilled, & tapped them. Good as new!

Re: Something kinda neat!
Note how they spelled out John instead of the typical Jno. I have never seen the company itself spell out John on any of their lamps. Even on an envelope I have with their logo on it, it is still abbreviated. A friend pointed out that the reflectors were manufactured by Lancaster Lens (the L.L. logo in the center). It makes me wonder if it's a mistake on their part.
Attached is another marked for Corcoran and I'm sure L.L. was making them for just about everybody else, as well.
