Headlight lens rim question

Post by bpresslylsmo » Thu Dec 05, 2024 8:57 pm

Can anyone shed some light on why some headlight lens rims have Ford script and others have Ford/Brown script? I assume Ford script is more common? How rare is Ford / Brown script?

Jno. Brown and E&J were Ford's two primary headlight (and headlamp) supplier during Model T production. Brown headlight rims included their name, too.
