Spindles have been sold.

Pair of 1909-11 one-piece spindles

Right spindle marked "T-203"

Left spindle marked "T-204"

Rough condition and spindle arms appear to have been bent at one point in time (maybe someone tried to adapt them to a later front-end ?)

$500.00 plus postage

Those look like the one piece spindles made in 1921.
Don’t the 09 spindles have straight arms?

In my opinion, the spindle bodies are too husky to be the 1921 style. 1909-11 spindle bodies have a gentle curve/are bulbous whereas the 1921 one-piece spindle bodies have a straight taper and a definite line where the top and bottom half meet (for lack of a better description).

The spindles in my listing are marked T-203 and T-204 on the arms and do not have a Ford script.

1921 spindles have a different number (I believe T273 and T274), the Ford script and the marking of the company that forged them on the arms.

The spindles in my listing do not have "flats" for ease of knocking off a ball bearing race like the 1921 spindles have.

My spindles should have straight arms but I've come to the conclusion that someone bent them to use them on a later axle. The bends aren't quite uniform when comparing the two spindles.
