Thanks guys for all your help. Once again you guys come thru! Wasted my time over at AACA site, 105 views and not one response! I may just quit going there at all.

Found this set of all brass air horns at our local antique mall and wonder what they were used on. Did early trucks use something like this?

Thanks for any help,

Trying to revive a Boyce Universal Motometer and need several decorative engraved heads screws for the rings if anyone can spare a few,

That is one of the coolest accessories I have ever seen. I have never seen one before, either. Thanks OilyBill, That's what I thought when I saw it. I'm amazed I was able to find the gauge at the local antique mall and then find the sending unit on eBay. It arrived today and it was New Old Stock. S...

Thanks to the help of an AACA Forum member we know this was patented in Canada on May 15th 1923. Do any Canadian collectors have any period automotive literature showing announcements or advertisements for this accessory?

Hey Rich, How's it going? I wished I could use it on the Maxwell but this apparently went on a car with a rear mounted tank. The stars must have been lined up for me yesterday. I went to the local antique mall and found and bought the dash gauge. The absolute only thing I could find online was an eB...

Just found components of a Mitchell Electric Gasoline Gauge C. J. Sykes MFG. Company Chicago Patented . It is an accessory aftermarket electric mechanical sender for the rear mounted style gas tank that has a needle showing 1/4 1/2 3/4 full on the tank and at the same time it sends electric signal t...

Thanks for your help guys. I was hoping to solve the mystery of why my Maxwell never had a cowl mounted gas tank like others built in 1917. IF this tank had been available when my Maxwell was built I would have been able to assume it was a preference of the body builder. But since there is no eviden...

Guys, My 1917 Maxwell was sold new without a body because the original owner wanted to build a body to suit his needs. It came to me with 1929 PA plates and I always assumed it had an Amish built body. It should have had a factory under cowl mounted gas tank but appeared to have been ordered without...

How about making one of these:

Sent my very first PM to a member about parts in the classifieds 3 days ago and no response. When I check Messages it doesn't show up in the Sent folder but it is shown in the Outbox. Was it never sent or did I do something wrong?

Thanks,

I believe to thing they fly was a patched up Ercoupe. Can't remember if he had a license. There are allot of stories of drive bombing the neighbors and backfiring the engine over houses to scare them. Thanks Jim, Just one last question. As a collector of oriental antiques including Samurai swords I...

That old photo might be an A. I never thought it looked like this T. dad and his brother had several home built contraptions running around then, even 1 that flew. Van Urine would be a great name for a T. Okay Jim, NOW you've really got me hooked! Does the flying machine still exist or a picture? D...

Am I the only one who sees a cutdown Model A in the old photo and NOT a Model T?

TEST, just wanted to see if it worked after 2 days of trying!
