Ford script running board - what year?

just as a sidenote now that we know these are for a T, you could buy running boards for ford tractors such as the 8N, They came with a small footrest only and it was common to install runningboards on either side of the tranny for better foot support. I do think they were most likely dealer installed aftermarket and do not remember seeing the Ford script on them. But that was a very long time ago, so not positive.

I do not doubt Layden's time interval, but I am thinking also that this design was retained even later into the 20s and Model A Pickups even, but perhaps these wee different?

The assembly pictured is not later than 1920 as 1921 saw new pressed steel mounting brackets instead of these cast style. The board itself continued to 1922. The 1923-25 board is identical except an added bolt hole where the splash apron attaches. 1926-27 saw a redesign with new dimensions and no longer a large FORD script across the center. Model A boards are different yet and so it went!
