APR. 24-14 with BRITE-LITE superimposed over HARKER MFG. CO. CINCINNATI, OHIO and A DIFFERENT LAMP, TRADE MARK REG., 2 3/16 in. dia. reflector, unfired, ex-Henry Pohs collection [The history of this lamp all starts with Arphad Snell who patented a lamp in 1911 and arranged with a fellow named Charles Hoppe to manufacture the lamp (Snell lamp) in his metal shop. Mr. Hoppe eventually moved to Cincinnati and made the Snell lamp for a couple years till Mr. Hoppe started manufacturing an improved lamp in 1914 called the Ever-Ready. Between 1914 and 1916, Mr. Hoppe produced a lamp called the Hoppe Brite-Lite that continued to evolve from the Ever-Ready. In 1916, the Harker Mfg. Co. bought out the Hoppe metal shop and continued to manufacture the Hoppe Brite-Lite. In 1917, Mr. Hoppe's name was dropped and the lamp as shown here was marked Harker Mfg. Co. Sometime during the early 1920's (not quite clear), the Harker lamps were phased out and that was that.]
