OT - help needed with this name on a parts book

Post by Rob » Thu Jan 31, 2019 5:07 pm

I've tried to determine what the last name on this parts book is for a few years. Maybe someone has an idea. It looks like O. J. Hos______? Below (if I can load them) are a few pics. Also included is a link to the Model K parts book, with the front cover and name.

Thank you for any suggestions,
Rob

I like it...... Trying it now. I'm trying everything close in searches in the 1907 - 1911 time frame. Thanks

Ted, you got it! Thank you.

Onon J. Hoshaw was born in 1890, and worked for a Ford dealer(s) in the Kansas City and Salina KS. area. He would have been 17 years old when the 1907 K (manual) came out. Now the question is, did he or his family own a Model K? Or did he pick up an old manual as a Ford employee at some point. The state of Kansas was one of the most prolific areas for Model K, so who knows.

Thanks again.
