Owls Head Transportation Museum is working on a Pietenpol which I have looked at several times while volunteering there, it’s what makes me think it’s a T engine and not an A. I’m sure the finned Head was made to convert it to air cooled and is the most interesting part of the engine.

I actually think it started out as a Model T engine, the oil filler tube is bolted on where an A had a filling tube hole cast into the block

I will go on a limb here, but it looks like a broken then filed down watch fob. Your first picture has a little irregularly above the eagles wings that would have been where the loop for a strap might have been.

The only part I would speculate on is that the steering wheel looks like an earlier Model T Ford flipped up-side-down. I would also think that the wheels are from a bicycle, they look bigger than baby carriage wheels.

It was mounted on a headlamp rim, I think around 28-29 but someone should be able to give you the exact years.

28-9 Model A Ford, missing the tube that ran down to the switch at the gearbox

Some parts from a transmission jack is what comes to mind for me... KM was mostly GM, as noted above. I think KRW is the early Ford tool company Auburnseeker was trying to think of.

How about an awning crank of some sort?

A challenging restoration, but that is a great looking and unique car to save! I am truly looking forward to reading about its resurrection. Thank you for sharing that with us!

Purely speculation, but is it possible that whoever made the wood for the body tagged it to keep it separated from regular coupe wood? It may explain why it’s not a commonly known tag.

I think you will find it’s an on site auction and you cannot bid until the lot comes up on the block on the day of the sale...

Compare it to an original Mullins Trailer or a 20’s camper trailer and that is a very good price IMHO

That is especially true for INDIAN and HARLEY items where I think the collectors are the most passionate about their rides.

They also could have been winter tire saver stands and from a set of four – those always look a bit taller than a service jack to me.

You can flag it as a scammer before someone gets bit...

Are you sure that SOB... I mean OSB is spruce? Time to tune the Paige guys, the puns are just going to continue to get worse.

If it was listed with “reserve not met” and had no bids at $14k it tells me that it should be that low... I would have thought it would have more interest than 5 different bidders ending at $7100 but there you have it

I think they match up with the lights on a 1929 Oakland currently listed on eBay and at least the GM connects to the original Buick ID. Thanks for the replies!

Anyone else have any idea on these? Thank you.

With the raised shape on the rim, it’s not Ford. The shape most likely is similar to the radiator emblem shield shape like Nash Ajax, Oakland, Maxwell, and many other cars have. I do not know if this is much help... I still have a pair that I can’t ID either.

Another possibility is from a uniform worn at The Cadillac hotel. Their China, silverware, and every door knob had the Cadillac emblem incorporated in them.

For some reason AMC came to mind...

I think that there are two different cars pictured. In the first you can plainly see the winged radiator cap of a Chrysler and the front fenders support. Leif, in the second picture the rear fender does not look like a match for the Chrysler’s and it plus the third picture shows an aftermarket radiator cap instead of the winged one. In the third picture the radiator shell does not look like it has the Chrysler shape but it could be the odd angle... I still think that there are two different cars pictured, the first being a '25 Chrysler.

I watched with more interest than was warranted as this car was bid to $15590 on eBay and did not meet its reserve. I really think the seller should have taken that bid, but not being mine I have no say in the matter. An interesting car but I still agree with most of the opinions above. Good of luck to the seller...

One more try, I would like to get these to someone who has a use for them. Thank you.
