Brass era car headlight?

[MackDigger]

Probably not but I found it on an old hillclimb route where I've found many car parts from the early era to today. What do you think? It's big and appears to be brass to me. Could be copper I guess.

It makes me think of part of an air pot from a vehicle that has air brakes

What's the diameter?
Nickel plated brass would be pretty weather resistant so I think you are on the right track.

No more then 10 inches across. I can measure tomorrow.

Is it definitely a headlight? If so for what kind of car? I figured that was a long shot but if it is that's awesome!

It kinda looks like these

Headlights back then we're for the most part universal so without some kind of identifying marks, you might never know.

Mack is right, it's the reflector from an old headlight. Seen many of them.
