Need Carlite Logo pics

Could someone with an original or accurate reproduction glass take pics of their Carlite logos? Especially of an original windshield and anything 1972 and earlier but any are fine. Need pics to do a correct stencil so I can etch on new glass. Logos on the 7 other pieces would be welcomed too.

If anyone has an Early Bronco with all original glass regardless of the year it would be nice to know the date code range on all pieces to get an idea of the month ranges for the year model.

Here’s two….the first one is a late production (09/72) 1972. It’s the passenger vent window - so it’s reversed. The 2nd is a 07/74 1974. Can take some better ones tomorrow when it’s daylight if you need them.

Same month and year mine was built. Would love to see the logos on any other original pieces so I can get an idea of a date range. That piece there is from Jan 72.

Here are shots of my June 1969 build.
Driver door and vent, driver rear side (hard top), and lift gate (hard top).

I'll see what I can get tomorrow. I don't think the drivers door window is original, it wasn't Carlite when I looked at it, started with a V. Pretty sure most of mine are original though.

Original windshield on a 66' u14 built in 9/65'. Not sure exactly what month the windshield was made, doors were built in 7/65'. Best I can do till it warms up in a few days lol. The rest of the glass is original too if needed.

That looks like a “5F” date code. First character is year and then a letter for the month, so that would be June ‘65.

So that photo I sent yesterday was the right rear. Left rear is the same. Liftgate is 1L, can't get a good pic of that one as it has a AQHA sticker behind it. Left wing window must have been replaced, I couldn't find any etching on it. I thought the right door window had been replaced, but it turns out someone installed it upside down, date code on it appears to be 1M. I'll post some more pics after my phone charges a bit.

Ok, first pic is left door window, aftermarket I think. Second is right wing, 3rd and 4th are right door, and 5th is windshield. Turns out the left wing window has the stamp, but it is etched so lightly, I can't see the date code if it is there. The right door window may be a replacement too, it doesn't have the oval logo.

Do you know what day or week yours was built in 2/72? Right door is interesting as it appears to have a Dec 71 date code and the newer style graphic upside down. That's a first for me to see. Is the windshield logo on the passenger or driver side?

I don't know what date it was built, I haven't gotten a Marti report yet. The right door was damaged at some point prior to me getting it, the skin has filler on the front and top and where the strap bolts to the inside and its missing the front piece of Sport trim on the window frame, so I assumed the window was removed for door repair then reinstalled upside down, or a replacement window from Ford maybe since the logo is different. The windshield logo is on the passenger side

That right door window... I wonder if it could be a December 81 replacement? I didn't get the Bronco until 1993.

This is the liftgate. 1L date code, if you can see it.
Yes I can see it thanks. Glass was either made in Nashville or Dearborn and looks like all your original glass was made in Nashville except the windshield.

Replacement glass that I've seen doesn't have the N or D markings usually made in a different place. I think it's original to the vehicle based on the date code in comparison with the other original pieces. Since it's a square piece of glass someone at some point could have removed and reinstalled it without regard to logo placement.
