Re: T's and parts at auction NW PA
On my screen these devices appear to be a type of thickness measuring gage. The thumb lever on the handle end allows the gage to open for alignment on the piece being measured. The indicator on the far end operates from rack and pinion arrangement. Open the jaw, align anvils on the part being measured, release the lever, read the displacement from the scale. At least that's what I see on my screen. The other two devices appear to be thickness gages as well. These might have been used as go-nogo inspection gages.
I will be curious to learn what these things really are. jb

Re: T's and parts at auction NW PA
Topns of items with a few good T items. The head lights are retrosas are the two brass radiators. The original parts all seem later, but the Ts and As mighjt be good at a fair price. Lots of vinate radios including many Atwatwr Kents. The best is a model 10B "Bread board". I had one once and years ago traded it for a1912 T chases (sp) with a good engine. Lots of old tools and shop equipment. Bring two or three big trucks. There is so much that some is going cheap.

The past is a great place and I don't want to erase it or to regret it, but I don't want to be its prisoner either.

Re: T's and parts at auction NW PA
Some auction results: The day started out sunny and hot; things moved along slowly but steadily. They had decided to sell everything except the cars and the tarp/pallet lots with most of the parts in the morning, then that stuff in the afternoon, running two rings until then. Clouds had been increasing all morning and the rain started just as they got going on the cars, then the trailer sold ($4600) and the repop brass parts. The winged script radiators went for around $500 each and the 466 lamps about the same. The '29/'30 Model A was bid up to $13K; the town car I think got up to $15K. Don't recall what the T truck got up to but all final bids were rejected by the family (I heard that they changed their minds an hour or so later and took them. Good move in my opinion). The "1910" was actually a nice but inaccurate new Town Car body on a '26-'27 chassis with repop early lamps and radiator. The family said it had been appraised at $35K (!!!) By the time they returned to the back yard to do the parts and the chassis lots it was raining pretty good; the crowd had thinned by about 2/3 and went steadily down the rest of the afternoon until there were only about a dozen buyers left. The Ruckstell chassis, the most complete, was about a '24 and went for $950. The last one, the Model A, went for, as I recall, about $50. All parts and chassis were late or late-er stuff. I got one field coil, 38 Ford/KW coils, a 1911 Heinze box in need of repair, a nice pair of '13-'14 headlamp forks, some Model A speedometer stuff and some kind of unknown landau irons parts. All in all, high bids ranged from low to reasonable I thought. My brother and several friends were there and I think we all went away pretty pleased with what we got and what we'd paid for it.

Thank you R. V.
I was hoping someone would let us know what happened.
