I know about as much as any can on 25 roadsters, but want to know for sure if Ford ever used the two hole rear window pattern on the early 25's. The photos I have show a roadster pickup taken in late 1924 with snow on the ground with the one piece window. Comments"?

Is that the one without Ford on gate?

From the MTFCA Encyclopedia
If later 1925 tops started to have one rear window, it unlikely that 1924's would. However, always possible that a top was replaced

1923-1925
“One-man” top. When introduced in September 1922 the Touring top lower edge was a straight line from front to rear. After 100,000, the rear was given a gentle curve downward. Two rear windows, each 8-1/2 x 5-1/2”, with up to 8” between them (there seems to be no standard, they have been seen with anywhere from 3 to 8 inches between them). Now clamped to the top of the windshield posts, eliminating the support straps used earlier. Later 1925 tops had one rear window, as in the 1926-27 models.

1926-1927
Similar in style to 1925. Single rear window, 16-3/4 x 7”. Rear socket curves at the bottom. A letter from the Fargo, ND branch to its dealers, dated March 22. 1926, announced the availability of khaki or black top boots with matching gypsy curtains, for dealer installation.

Sam Bonar has an early ‘25 touring which has two curtain lights in back.
