Not a Ford. 1934 Dodge.

And every so often some enterprising ner'do-wells meticulously maintained that nearby mudhole as a bottomless "money pit"! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b54hl_1msMY

try contacting the guy in the AACA link (Curti) and see if he's still looking for one. I dont think it will be too hard to get rid of!

Remote radio control panel. Heres one in a 1935 Auburn 851 https://forums.aaca.org/topic/293874-radio-head-values/

I will file this under "Local Boy Makes Good!". James Whiting built his cars for 3 years- 1910-1913, in the old Flint Wagon Works factory in Flint Michigan but his real claim to automotive fame (besides helping to form the aforementioned Flint Wagon Works in 1882, the genesis for ALL vehicle manufacturing in Flint) was buying a struggling company started by a machinist/plumber/inventor in Detroit (David Buick) and relocating it to Flint in 1904. This Buick Motor Co. was the basis for his pal Billy Durant to form a conglomerate of various manufacturers into a new company called General Motors. When Whiting's automobile company ultimately folded, Durant quickly retooled his vacant plant to introduce another newly-minted automobile venture to hopefully take on that Ford behemoth downstate that he called the "Chevrolet". In downtown Flint today there is a Whiting Auditorium building in the Cultural Center where the Sloan Summer Fair antique and classic car show is held every year. Across a nice little tree-shaded plaza, and directly facing "The Whiting" sits the (Alfred P.) Sloan Museum. Inside the museum is a 1910 Whiting runabout. It might be the only example of a Whiting left(?).* This Whiting is another example of the hundreds of odd-ball makes that popped up in those halcyon days of the early 20th century and built a few vehicles, then vanished. Unlike many other attempts to build a profitable automobile business, this one had the backers, the manufacturing capacity and people running it that knew what they were doing, but it just didn't catch on, making it a mere footnote in history and a photographic puzzler to stymie all but the most dogged automotive sleuths. GOOD CATCH VARUN! * its not. The Fountainhead Museum in Alaska has one too.

Well, that certainly looked better in photoshop...

1936-'48 Lincoln V-12 coil(s).

It looks like a still frame out of a Stan Midgely travelogue film! (the funniest film-maker who ever appeared on "George Pierrot Presents", Sunday afternoons on WWJ-TV/ WDIV, channel 4, Detroit Mich., in the 1960's).

That 3 hole bolt pattern makes me think of the Austin 7, but that spoke lace pattern sure doesnt!

"Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war!" -Oh, and have them bring up that little cart with the Maxim machine gun on it...

It looks like a badge from an NSU owners club, or possibly a dealer. By that mounting configuration was most likely made to go on front-mounted accessory "badge bar", apparently with as many other badges as you could fit on it!

1929 Essex

With a straight shot down the fitting and no check ball mechanism to keep grease or oil from flowing back through them, I think they are vents or breathers to allow air to escape due to heat expansion like the vents that were screwed into the top of driven axle tubes. Do those caps fit securely, yet loose enough to to allow wiggle room so air under slight pressure can escape out of the slots leading from the interior bore to the exterior, then down and out from under the cap?

The "K" PROBABLY stands for Kelsey Wheel co. of Detroit, Michigan. They supplied various wooden parts to several early automobile manufacturers like Ford , Cadillac, Chalmers, (and my favourite) the 1910-1914 Alpena Flyer. Although most famous for their rolling stock, they provided many other bits & bobs constructed from wood, up to and including complete bodies, so a steering wheel rim surely wouldn't have been beyond their capabilities. . At the very least, early Kelsey wheel spokes ("felloes") where stamped with a similar "K", most notably the wheels they supplied to Ford (who, after 1910, was getting 70+ % of their production output) for the Model "T". Here's a rabbit hole to explore on that... http://www.mtfca.com/discus/messages/506218/530733.html?1428178615 After a 1927 merger with Hayes Wheel Co., they were called Kelsey Hayes. http://www.coachbuilt.com/bui/k/kelsey_herbert/kelsey_herbert.htm

Then it should still be under warranty. "See ya again, boys!"

Yes, just try and find a modern picture of one of these C-1-B Town Wagons that hasnt been hot-rodded! It is amazing that this one still has all of its upscale-optioned stainless steel trim (except for that missing lower grille bar) and it all looks to be in good shape.

Yes, an aftermarket radio. That type with the radio controls mounted via a clamp to the steering column had flexible cables that ran down from the knobs to a firewall mounted radio and speaker in a metal box. They were typically sold in the mid to late 1930's. That dial is in excellent (N.O.S.?) shape! Somebody needs it...

A radio dial. Bias ply tires werent the only product they made that could sing!
