Which parts do not have the LEGO logo stamped on them?

Question

As noted in this question,
there are very few parts that do not have the LEGO logo included during manufacture.
But which parts are those?  Is there any semi-exhaustive list?  Does bricklink note this sort of thing anywhere?
I'm mostly curious from the perspective of someone who would be looking through bulk LEGO and trying to figure out whether they got real LEGO or clones.  Finding the logo is usually so reassuring.  I'm not worried about really ancient rare parts, but if you want to be that thorough don't let me discourage you.  Either way, some sort of list of parts that somebody should expect to be legitimate LEGO, but not worry about the lack of a logo, would be great.

I have looked at part #4168 "Support 1 x 16 Lattice (Train Signal Mast)" from my both harbour seaports (year 1991) and have neither found a part number nor a brand printed on them, although being original.
For part #2383 "Electric, Light 1 1/8 x 2 x 1 2/3 Cabinet with Lamp Holes (Sign Back) with Milky White Electric, Light 2 x 2 Clip-On Plate with Fire Logo Pattern" the clip-on part with a firefighter logo neither contains a part nor a brand.
I can also confirm that part #4773 "Electric, Light Bulb Cover (Colored Globe)" don't have anything printed either (as in set #6430 "
Night Patroller" I own).

The Plant, Tree Palm Top part has had revisions where it was not marked with the LEGO logo, as we have learned in this QA thread.

Are both of these fences made by Lego?
This is another example. This fence piece came in logo and non-logo versions in the 1970's.

Another example is this watering can.  The green one we have is from Fabuland.  In fact several other Fabuland parts here also lack the logo - this bench for example.  I wonder if  in the 70s/early 80s, when Fabuland was designed, Lego were less concerned about putting their name on every last part.
Other parts I've seen without a logo tend to have some of the following features:

no or hollow studs on top
curved
small
translucent

This electric light bulb cover ticks all of those boxes

I certainly don't have a list, but I came across Technic, Steering Arm with 4 Ball Joints with Black Wheel Hub (x872 / x873) part several times. I heard stories of Bricklink sellers being accused of shipping knock-off copy of this part (since it is a little pricey) due to absence of LEGO logo, despite them being legit items.
