It's a certainly a radiator badge. I have one the same.

Sort of, it's a Dixie magneto made by Splitdorf.

I've seen one of these before, and I'm sure it was something British? There was an article in The Automobile magazine once about them, and there were the remains of one found in the UK (with the engine). What indication is there that it's French? It looks like it has an AA badge on the handlebars, so the vehicle was possibly in the UK. I can't remember what it was, but it'll come to me. Made in one of the big car making towns like Coventry or Birmingham.

Is this a hood emblem? What car is it for? Thank you!

Age of a Berling Magneto and application?
Craig Gillingham replied to mikewest's topic in What is it?
That coupling, I'm confident is the same as those used on an OX-5. I was hoping to find some clearer photos of a coupling. They have two lugs that bolt onto the flange, with a cover over the coupling -the cover is missing from your one. Attached is a catalogue of the different D8 Berling magnetos showing they were suitable for car, truck, tractor, or marine use. The OX-5 used a Berling D81x2, were a clockwise magneto with a two-pole armature. -

It's aircraft, most probably from an OX-5 Curtiss. I can't help you with an exact date. -

Craig Gillingham replied to Craig Gillingham's topic in Parts For Sale
Bruce, I haven't found it yet. I'll have a good look tomorrow, if I can't find it, it must be in my off-site storage. I'll have access to that over the Christmas break. I know I've got it -somewhere. -

Bruce, to be honest, I'd forgotten all about this. I'll have to have a look for it and I'll give you a ring. Craig -
If you search for "moteurs l'aster", (the French term), or the proper name "Ateliers de Construction Mecanique l'Aster", you may have better luck. They date from at least 1900, possibly earlier.

1947 Chevrolet Ute (Australian)
Craig Gillingham replied to timecapsule's topic in General Discussion
I doubt this would have been the case. At this time, Australia had been involved with body-building for a very long time, and as previously mentioned, because of the local tariffs, locally produced bodies were in favor. Australia had a very developed body stamping/building operation going on. What hasn't been mentioned so far is that a lot of the 1930s-50s American-based Ford/GM/Chrysler utes that were built in Australia were based on the tourer/convertible X-frame chassis, purely for the extra strength. For example, in Australia, the late 50's ute chassis (Mainline), used a Sunliner X-Frame chassis. I would think that if the OP looked at the chassis on his Chevrolet ute in question, it would be one of the reinforced X-frame chassis. The tourer/convertible chassis were used, as they provided extra strength, whereas the sedans/coupes contained their extra strength in the roof structure. -
The acetylene headlamp is probably off a Motorcycle. They typically had the rim hinge at the top. Also, that grey colour is close to the Renault grey that Harley's were painted from 1906 to early 1917.

This photo was identified on Facebook recently as a 1902 Lawson motor wheel.

It's an early Dodge 4, I'm not sure of the year.

Looks like a Stoddard-Dayton.

Here it is: https://www.ebay.com/itm/235085822586?hash=item36bc34fa7a:g:V1UAAOSwQopkrbNt&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAAwE3dM%2FK90FIawISeXfLS1xE6dhCL0hAYhDJ%2B%2FSG%2BGk%2F9FbYrn1M2F6CPiCRbXd9sLTPaBjo2FojE2UV1lawykOryTcPdKybyRhJY0J1VGMY6LJcUYoIxVZHYEWeAapjRqzB4l9MexDkoRvCl5jihKej5yHPRFlqMO%2B2hbiLdtsp1CINe2XXpQ%2BEVuAE1H1pW9ZMLEGxXCejiySMtTDvOAgXE3OddWmDiICX7qswXuYrym9hifGq43z6nq00MBDAD%2Fg%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR6C8oZ2pYg

That looks very much like a properly stamped Ford part number. The F65A part comes up as either F150/Explorer/Ranger. Personally, I think a person needs a PhD when deciphering Ford part numbers. This photo of an aftermarket towbar is for a late 90's, or early 2000's F150, and the bolt mounting arrangement looks very similar. You would really need to refer to a hard-copy part book to confirm the part numbers.

Intake manifold that I found in the Maine woods.
Craig Gillingham replied to Douglas Gilmore Brown's topic in What is it?
It looks like an 6 cylinder chev engine manifold. This one is supposed to be 1946-48. I'm not very familiar with these engines, so it may fit other years as well. The one you've found has a Handy governor, and they were sometimes used on the truck engines. -
According to this forum, the Champion 49 was only used on the IHC petrol (gas) start diesel engines. This doesn't really fit in with this device. If it is made by IHC, it would be unusual for there to be no IHC logo on the castings. https://www.yesterdaystractors.com/cgi-bin/viewit.cgi?bd=farmall&th=685912
