Steve, I believe these are one of the very few parts that were carried into model A production. Still have the orphan, I’ll find another the day after I sell it.

Here is an instant collection. The invincibles are really early, great for the brass era T tool kit. Also a rubber hardness tester, 2 MotoMeter gauges and a Rex-a-co. A SPRING BARGAIN! $125 including postage to your door. Haven’t tried any of them, generally the small rubber tube inside the end is h...

I did a pile of these a couple of winters ago for relaxation, and was really surprised with the vast number of differences in the manufacture of them. There is no such thing as an easily interchangeable part unless you are just lucky. Even the ammeters and the way they mount differ substantially. Go...

Thanks Ed, that’s a good search area for me. Looking a bit today, they picked up the flying Pegasus as their logo in 1931, so the window of this gargoyle use would be very small, indeed. Maybe 1928-30ish The gargoyle itself was used by Socony since the 1880s. The story ( which I didn’t pay for) this...

Too fuzzy for me to make out, but could see it on a sales rig like this. Bonus points awarded for a better pic.

Dropacent

Someone better snag these before I do. Very rare desirable accessory, and I don’t use rare with model t very often. Painted or powder coated black, you are in like flynn!

Yup, the body blocks did it! Nobody buys them sagging. Well bought truck!

I cannot get logged on to the old gas forum for some technical reason ( I’m stoopid).

Last time I shopped, Bill, most sealants don’t even come with that long extension tube any longer. I say K.I.S.S. , this works well for me.

I buy big tubes and they last until I get the last smidgen out. I have a lot of powder coating done, so I have these silicone plugs of many different sizes. Insert one of these small ones into the end of an open tube, and it’ll never get air to it to go off. I push them in easily about an inch.

Wow, my lunchtime here. Reading this, I had to go quick check the obits. As most of you, I live and breathe old cars. Have since before I could drive.

Tom Rootlieb’s sharing of those great pictures inspired me to take this off the wall. I believe these are a collection of Real Photo Post Cards. A great collection, and hoping others can add to it.

TT trucks don’t have splash aprons to worry about. The last thing I’d do is drill a hole in an apron to mount one. . I don’t really have a use, but would like to complete it.

Steve, any chance for pics yet? Thanks in advance!

I believe this is a Monarch brand, although the H is missing from the brass casting. It was missing the cap, and wonder if anyone may have an original for a picture, or , even better a catalog picture. I found an old 1/4” NPT cap, shown with 2CF348D0-5381-4FE5-8297-277626EE522B.jpeg B4A9D2F8-1A2E-4B...

A lot of those old companies have tooling that will work hanging on the wall. If it was me doing it, which it isn’t, I’d have large drums spun and then make rear wheels with the bigger size.

Lillian was born in 1905 so perhaps the cartridge Hawkeye was a hand me down, but still cherished. I’ve not been able to open it, and I’d be horrified if I forced it open to find a roll of undeveloped film inside. It’s funny how some family’s never took pictures, but our ancestors always did a lot. ...

My drive to make these was getting an engine back from rebuild and catching a very small hairline crack in the pan arm. These can be still found used, but often the threaded portion is in bad shape. iMHO they should be snuggled up so they don’t move, otherwise the threaded portion will be damaged ag...

Some great guys on here have a photographic memory and a great collection of trade books. I’ve seen these in the past, but always thought they were homemade ends for the frame.

If that’s a Brownie #2, what is this called? It belonged to Lillian, my grandmother. I love the string handle, so well loved. She’s on the left here, pushing her daddy’s flivver with her sisters.

To me, the hunt of this stuff is more than half the fun. I needed a rim for my set of sprangers and found it by asking around. My caps were rough so machined up a set, and also made some missing lugs. Turned out to be a great set that I would have today still had I not found an equally nice set of b...

It’s is not. It’s the same bulb used in millions of old cars including model T ford. Why throw confusion in my WTB thread?

Pretty sure Spranger, made in Detroit. Pretty uncommon but a nice wire wheel. The lug nuts are wrong, I may have a loose one here somewhere. I sent a beautiful set to Australia, and a friend in meechigan has a set.

Anyone contemplating this neat magneto setup, I have only one shelf remaining from a small run. It was ordered but never paid for. Tmorsher@icloud.com to make an offer and make it yours.

Dropacent

Just a small point. I believe they are actually brass, which with ford is a cheaper material. I can measure the brass thickness if anyone actually cares. It’s very thin. The core is asbestos.

Dropacent

If you look close, the metal edge is rolled, to make a nice seal. Remember , gasoline constantly flows through this joint. Do you really think just any material( cardboard) is a good seal? IMHO real gasket material would be a fine substitute, but not just a piece of unknown cardboard. F7683015-73FC-...

I’ve always wondered why these were used originally. FoMoCo was the pinnacle of K.I.S.S. There must have been a good reason back then, otherwise they would have punched out paper gaskets.

Mospico is the other brand. I’ve seen several of those. I believe it was a forging company in Detroit.

Dropacent

Don’t forget, desirable parts like these had been started to be reproduced in the 1950s. That makes them 70+- years old now. To my eye, the stamping looks a little “soft” and my guess it’s an early remade part. I’d embrace it as a nice piece, and enjoy using it.

Dropacent

My educated guess would be that isn’t a FORD stamped serial number

Great book, Victor Page

Stamped blocks being uniform would be a dead giveaway that they’ve been altered. There were devices back then that could have done that automatically.
