Top saddles on what I would call late13-17 body brackets. Are they Ford or?

Not a Ford part I've ever seen.

Accessory adjustable top bow fastener, missing a chain that fits in the pulley behind the knob.
Cranking knob pulls extended chain around top bow stack to retain preventing rattling.
Edited…, to note chain used in the pulley crank.

Dan, I was wondering if there were jewels in the holes?

No jewels! But didn’t look at the adv piece before posting, there wasn’t a fabric strap, but a chain in the pulley. The end of the chain had a clamp to latch over the top iron and pull the stack of irons tight to prevent rattles. Replaced the leather belt like strap.

Bad news Steve. Looks like they are only worth $2. And that was when they were new and complete. Seems your business plan is a lot like mine. Better luck next time!
