I did not know these Timken bearing races where provided in cardboard tubes. An original but tattered example.

Nice find. These outer cups listed in the later Wholesale Price List of Parts (Aug. 1,1926), like other T parts, were sold in Lots of 10, Lots of 100, Lots of 1000 and also for Each.


Here is the listing for Factory #2955, Part No. T-2833 'Front hub bear. cup inner' 1919-26
Price each, .50 Price 10 per lot $3.50 , so only in Lots of 10 or by each.

You have that 10-Pack. ;)

Thanks Steve and Dan,
I think I am missing a few.
Do you think it is still worth $3.50🤔

Can see about 4 in that round carton, so at today's price of $27 each (BTW they were $19 in 2019!).... you have about $100 worth. :)

Back in '27 Ford's wholesale price of each @ .50 would be today's value of $9.
