I got there yesterday around 3:30 and the place was swinging already. I had help unpacking and sold several odds and ends right out of the boxes. Definitely some serious buying going on and today is the big day.

All packed up and headed out in an hour, and those mountains give any vehicle a workout as I remember…

I’m really looking forward to it again, hopefully it isn’t as hot as last year! All set for the drive and should be there Thursday afternoon if there’s no construction or accidents on the way, see y’all there I hope… and bring cash- Betty needs a new exhaust manifold!

Looking at the pedal and shifter configuration I highly doubt it has a period engine, so the engine put into the vintage hot-rod could be anything.

^^^Don't care what anyone thinks but that’s funny, definitely laughing out loud funny ^^^
I honestly do not know how they can see anything in front of them, that said I live near a USMC base in NC and that “law” is either not well enforced or the local police give active military a pass. I see a few every single day.

Not a true barn find, but they probably will be at some point when the current “caretaker” dies (yes I meant to put that description in quotes). There are three T’s and an ‘08 S buried in trash much deeper than what you can see here… absolutely makes me wonder how stupid people can get.

It’s the top half from a 1936 Humber mascot. Being a British car it’s not well known on this side of “the pond”

I spotted this on the doorjamb. Perhaps your emblem was intended to be used in the same way?
That would be highly doubtful, the dealership would want the tag seen either by passengers or people looking at the vehicle. What you see on the Cadillac was the service tag which was something found on several of the upper price cars. (I think I have the same tag in my flea market stuff, but I won’t know for sure until it’s out at Luray next month…)
Here’s the equivalent one on my PA:

No price?
If I’m reading this right, it’s an auction that currently has no bids. The no-reserve means it’s selling for whatever the bid is in 13 days. It is definitely a project but it could be a good deal for someone who wants to get into the hobby and has the ability to put her together…

I'm not aware of any belt buckles that were ever originally done as advertising items.
I agree that the buckles I’ve seen are not advertising items, but there are many made as service awards. The style of belt has changed significantly over the years and that needs to be taken into consideration when deciding on the era, the buckle above looks like it is for a wider belt, which is a 70’s or newer style.
Here’s two examples that are going to Luray next month, the brass one is a Chevrolet Parts and Accessories award that was never personalized, the silver Pontiac was likely a salesman gift and has a name engraved on the back.

I think it’s a 1912 with the added front door fill-in which are usually referred to as fore doors. The 13 body had the typical 3 doors with square bottom edges.

The base she is on has a hole just behind her that looks like a good place for lamp wire. I don’t think it’s got anything to do with a hood ornament…

Much bigger than a Dodge. It has a lot of similarities to a mid-late teens Cadillac but I could not match it exactly but 1916 looks closest in the pictures I’ve looked through.

Well, I guess you did not read my entire post… I did say it was not exactly identical, but it’s just about identical to the reproduction watch fobs that litter eBay and car shows coast to coast. Here’s pictures of six currently available on eBay, they are of no value whatsoever to anyone who collects them. There are more available out there but any reputable dealer would know better than to misrepresent one.

I dunno, the Model T was pretty close for the time… but yeah I can see that exact scenario playing out. My 40-something niece wanted to drive one of my cars until she saw the stick. It was a Model A and the only automatic A was a Shay or a rod.

The Tourist was an automobile manufacturer from LA 1902-1910 with maybe 500 cars being made each year. Sadly that exact watch fob was heavily reproduced in the 1960’s by the LA Rubber Stamp Company. Being a slightly different configuration than the typical reproduction is curious, it could be that it was from a car tour commemorating the anniversary in ‘58 and afterwards they made more of the fobs without the ribbon and dangle. Chances are it was a complete fantasy item and none ever existed in the first place as it was an extremely obscure manufacturer. If it is actually genuine it would be very hard to authenticate because of the commonality of the reproductions.

Both great looking A’s, congrats on being the next caretaker for the sedan!

While this is certainly similar, There is no trunk door, and the forward lower corner of the door is square, whereas the one in question is radiused. Maybe just a year or two off?
Or it could be a 2 seat roadster body, and it could be something altogether different… it’s about as close as I could get with how little is there.

Looks like a 1915 Briscoe cloverleaf roadster to me.

WAG?
Wild ass guess - and I agree it looks like something from a sales or dealership award.

The dates are May 10-11 and here’s the link to the show for anyone looking to setup there.

Just realized you have all those in alphabetical order!😃
Pretty much filled them in a tray that way too, easier than having to dig if anyone is looking for a specific make… there’s a few of them missing from the pictures I sold already but a lot of really good stuff left to swap.

Planning on being set up next to you again and bringing the same mix, some really decent mascots and emblems along with the T parts and a nice set of E&J type 20 headlights. Also talked a buddy from central PA who has a few cars into coming down and checking out the flea. Looking forward to it!
If anyone has any interesting emblems to trade bring-’em on over…

I don’t know it’s use, but it’s a Pennsylvania Railroad logo- PRR in a keystone shape.

Any thoughts on Model and possibly year? Thanks

Winged radiator (see edit history)
Definitely a Model T Ford. I was thinking it’s a 1911 model but the plate looks like it reads 1910??
Looking closer the script on the radiator has wings which could be 1910. Beautiful early pictures!
