The marketing brand name on the top covers during the Cobra use period said "SPALDING" on them. Same design unit over time, different branding at different times.

Spalding marked top covers included small raised text consisting of: “SPALDING” twice near opposing edges and the notation “PAT. PEND.” along the edge. The information on the top covers for marked Grant units included raised text consisting of: a very large centrally located cast in stylized letter “G” logo bracketed by the name “Grant” twice and the notation “PAT. PEND.” along the edge. Yes, Grant marked models were sold as Grant® Flamethrower™ units.)

Cobra owners doing detailed restoration work hunt covers marked with Spalding's information.
