Does anyone know the part number or year variant of this holder . Vertical bar in center has a hand hold area formed in it, when it's vertical the wheel is locked in at the bottom, if you push it forward the lower tab pivots to release the rim, it has a padlock ring at upper end and lug relief areas. Took it off my touring car for clean up.
Yes, my camera date is not correct, I can't figure how to change it.

That is a nice accessory carrier made by an aftermarket company. Ford never made a spare tire carrier that operated like that.
Is it for the 30 X 3-1/2 clincher tire, or the 21 inch tire?

You can probably find a manual online, downloadable as a PDF.

Thanks, I knew somebody here would have an answer. I looked at hundreds of pictures online and did not see it.
Trying to keep the car all Ford (anything easy to see) so I'll put it in the classifieds this afternoon, somebody may go for it.
Just read the 1920 ad again and Ford used this on closed cars (they say), my car is a touring.

I have that same carrier on my 1922 Coupe.
