I have this one head light that looks similar to a model T, but I don't think it is, I am hoping someone ID it.
It is 10-inchs in diameter, original glass with bubbles.

Is there any inscription around the socket?
It looks similar to the E&J 440 that was used on early Canadian 1915 cars.

Glass with bubbles may be window glass cut to replace a lens.

Keith, no inscription or markings anywhere that I can see on the out the side, I will have to try and open it maybe the reflector has some markings on it.
Pat, here is a close up of what I see as bubbles or air pockets.

At 10" round it is larger than the fork mounted light used on Canadian 1915 cars. They are the same size as later standard Ford electric lights.

Allan from down under.

Olds style structural type window glass often had bubbles and ripples in it. I've never seen such blemishes in a headlight lens.

Being that the fork mount doesn't have set screws or bolts as the Model T lights did, the vehicle that this light came from must have had threaded forks. Both top and bottom have been machined.

Chev 490 from the late teens used headlights similar to this.
