I know who made the repro about 1975 in New York State, as I bought a Model T from him.

That one was brown.
And if it has the letter "S" on it it's junk as we all know.

Re: What’s the story?

The first picture tells a Model T story! I’m wondering if they bought the T new and then used it down to the very end on the farm. That’s a very early brass era T that didn’t last to long. Maybe they bought it that way for a good deal and it lasted a while longer on the farm. I like both potential ...

Did you buy it? If so, congrats. Surprised at that asking price it took this long. Be curious if not just plain nosey if it went for asking price. Mainly cause I been doing my own little research on how prices are going and it seems they're dropping. Especially on brass cars.
