Strangest place you've found the Ford script

Bob, what are these?
 
Shortly after the Army standarized the design of the Jeep for both Willys and Ford, they stopped allowing them to put their logo on the rear of the body tub. After that Ford put a script F on almost every component on the GPW's; bolt heads, nuts, etc. The ones built before the edict went through are called "Script" Jeeps and are pretty rare.
 
On the Very Early Speedometer Drive Gear Housing; on the opposite side was a diamond with a "F" in the center. Across the bottom was "10-37".

On scisors, match safe, brake light lense, water pump nut or petcock

How about on a pair of scissors supposedly from the Ford factory upholstery department:

....or on the end of a silver match safe:

My Gemmer two tooth steering box has a large raised F on the outside and a script capital F cast on the inside. I know it isn't the complete script logo, but I thought it was interesting.

Here's a hammer that came off of eBay a few years ago:

And for honorable mention, even though it's not Ford script, a stick of lead from the Briggs body company:

Working on my multiple disk clutch ( I know crazy) I found the Ford script on the face of the throw out bearing! It is on the right side about in the middle of the picture!
