What is this starting crank off of?

I pulled this starter crank out of my pile and noticed it was longer than others that I’ve seen. It has a 1914 aluminum handle on it, but the top shaft is longer than a stock T crank. Same diameter. Any ideas?

If a car is fitted with a Livingstone V radiator, it needs that longer crank.

Looks just like the one I stretched 3+” to clear the Laurel lowering brackets on my speedster. Are there any wear marks that would indicate it ran in a T pan... or otherwise?

Yes it has wear marks from a T pan.

Ok that makes sense regarding the Livingston , because I have one of those in my stash as well. It is a honeycomb.
