Re: Model T accessory??
Ha ! Dave, you’re too funny....All seriousness aside - It’s a steering stabilizer. The bottom part between the 2 spring circles (on the runningboard) fastened to the rod bolted to the 2 spindle arms and the 2 “”antenna”” simply were forced onto the backside of the front axle.
I don’t know why I turned out this way. My parents were decent people.

It's a groove maker. It digs grooves in your tie rod.

Re: Model T accessory??
Steve is absolutely correct. This is a cheap temporary fix for a loose front end. These were often used during the Depression when people often couldn't afford a good front end rebuild.

Re: Model T accessory??
Absolutely right Steve. These work very well as evidenced by the very precise grooves cut into the tie rod on our 26 Touring when we bought it.
