: 1920's? Headlight; Can You Identify It?

This headlight was found in my Great Grandfathers basement when he passed away about 15 years ago (he was 93). He converted it to a 110v lamp but never put a base on it. It sat in my Dad's basement for the last 15 years until he finally gave up... now it's sitting in my basement :)
But I plan to actually put a base on it very soon!

It says "Brown Stabilite Headlamp" on both the glass and housing. On the glass in small print it also says "John W Brown Mfg Columbus, Ohio".
Does anyone have any idea how old it is or what it came off of?
Thank you.
