  1. No more than 3 but, for now, one. I looked up patent numbers stamped on back and found out it is a Schwarze horn. Was it OEM for anyone or aftermarket? THANKS for everyone's effort!!!!
  2. Final speedometers in my stuff,,,, the little one on left was made by Northeast Appliance Rochester NY An interesting note the unit has a light blue"plastic" strip riveted to the body. Was it back-lit orginally? the other Stewart is larger 4" face
  3. Came in with some Model T Ford stuff and I don't think its for that! Has cast 5007 on aluminum, also stamped 3-61 in same area.
  4. Some type of quarry truck that was rode hard and put away wet for YEARS I'm thinking a GMC radiator and a dunno motor do you? Only tag was on the side of the dump box
  5. WHOA Nelly !!!! Bad spot for a tree in the middle of the road
  6. another early machine in my neighbor hood, Saddens me to think these neat machines, were around in my area,,, darn the Germanic ideal to keep things picked up and clean I suppose WW2 scrap drives mighta helped too =-)
  7. A Chevy 36? and whats hiding out back?
  8. I think it is a Ford 32 to 34 Tandem duals and an International in back
  9. any idea what she was from orginally ?
  10. Saw this on the wall in a Quick-Trip Gas station in Fox Lake Wisc. recently. There's a fella in Brookfield that has a list of the plate numbers for early Wisconsin plates I'm quessing a Holsman?
  11. Came with some early brass era auto stuff great part is there were 2 off them cowl lamp brkts???
  12. Isn't there room for a bare bones vehicle like The Studebaker/Westinghouse truck or similar car?
  13. The other day I asked a question about a model 106 Gray&Davis carbide headlamp and I believe I saw here or on the internet a picture of an old advertisement for a brass carbide headlamp mounted on the front of a steam traction engine with a Pres-o-Light tank mounted on the barrel of the boiler. I want to show my steam friends and can't find it. Any Help??? Thanks
  14. Won't beat around the bush,,,what should I ask?
  15. Gonna toss this out into the fray,,, Way back during Millwright schooling,I was told the normal operating range on gauges should point up so-as to see from a distance and middle of mechanical gauge's range gives the most accurate reading. So what spins at 30 ???? paper making machinery turns slow,,,,, you say the gauge face-plate has a covered up ratio speed which add to the mystery,,,, A use where rpm's would be unknown to operator but number 30 would???
  16. Picture of a roadster I found,,,,Betcha it was a girl's car
  17. got a better pic I think.... I'm guessing by the clothing the guys are wearing the this truck was already a old oddity when this picture was taken. When did people start wearing baseball caps when not on a baseball field?
  18. Found this pic at a rummage with many items from WW2 note rifle scabbard and baseball caps on the guys Thinking a truck the yanks came across during the second war to end all wars
  19. Gray & Davis model 106 anyone know what that it fits by the brackets or ???? also a presto-light tank came with it. Saw online that Cadillac used them but where there's is stamped mine has no marks.
  20. I've been watching Foyle's War and have noticed something about English cars of the pre-WW2 I remember seeing in the All Creatures Great and Small series years ago and then had no-one to ask but Thanks to the Web I can. I noticed the enclosed cars of that era have an upper strip of glass (vent?) that overlaps the window when rolled up. How bad does that leak air/water and do they rattle and break easy? Just wondering Foyle drives a Wolseley ?
  21. Found this postcard lately of a car flopped on her side. I bet like the pipe smoking guy dressed mostly in black with the watch fob was the driver . Looks half in the bag to me. A-lot going on in the picture. Plate is a Wisconsin 1914 49098 Don't ya just wanna keep driving down the road to see whats over the next hill?
  22. A little town near me. notice the trans axle any ideas what kind of car?
