Yep - WW2 era Ford Jeep Jack - it might have been used in production cars in the late late 30's as I thought all the Jeep ones had a hole to bolt it down with but it's been a while since I've crawled over one so I could be wrong

Did Kissel have step plates like number 2?

You know, if Nash had died off in the mid 30's I think there would be a much different opinion of them - they made some very nice looking cars at the time, but later became the butt of many a joke.

I'm still with Nash

I think the 4th one (with the men looking at the rock) is a Nash, not a Studebaker - I'm going by the shape of the hubcap.

Floorboard is Studebaker from the early 1920's - not sure which series but the aluminum is distinctive

The two brown ones may be A rumble seats - if you flip them over and show the bottom I'll pull mine & check for you.

Might be a good idea to google the watch company and come up with a serial number list - most watches can be dated and the winder there looks too early to be auto. I think the leather suggests carriage - most early auto ones I've seen are brass cased, but you see new things daily.

That is the oil gauge I mentioned above - the full windshield screams mid 20's Chevrolet to me, but I'm a Ford guy so it could be anything....

I'll go out on a limb as there is little to go by - this car was highly modified from the basic T. The levers for the gas & timing are long flat paddles - these came out in 1913 - before then they used black bakelite handles - then around 1917 the ends were changed from paddles to round flats. I'm not 100% sure of the exact dates but this is pretty close. Then there is the issue of a low hood and a high radiator, that change was early 1920's. The gas tank looks a lot like a 12 Buick roadster - but there were other sources there too. I'll guess the car was built from multi-year parts 1913 to 1924 - your question can't be answered with any certainty.

Accessory item - mid 20's

There is an accessory switch cover for the mid teens Model T Fords in the 2nd picture along with an accessory oil gauge - the cast iron thing with the wire sticking from the top.

Also looks like the front axle is forward of the radiator - a common way to lower the T's to a speedster height.

To me it looks like a late 30's (37 to 39??) ornament on an earlier base. I think the glass wing came out in 40, so the style just before that...

1 - put a socket onto the crank pully and try to turn 2 - you want to re-wire everything anyway so, what is the point? 3 - have friends available and push 4 - if a stick, crank engine with one rear wheel off ground and see if you can shift thru all - an automatic is going to need rebuilding if it's been sitting any time. 5 - ice-pick method works best, but is usually not appreciated by sellers 6 - tap and listen - you should know

Give you a funny story - not that it helps your situation, but it fits the same theme... I was in my mid 20's and going home from work when I came across a brass T Ford on the side of the road broken down - so I stopped to offer help and was tartly refused - the guy did not even want to talk to me, so I left him there. About an hour or so later I get a call from the local garage owner who has a T on his flat-bed and wondered if he could swing by with it to get an opinion before going to the shop. Knowing who it would be I said "Sure, come on over"... Once the cranky old fart of an owner saw me there with a T in the barn it was a different story. I did help after giving him a pretty good ration of - well you get the picture. I continually try NOT to be that guy - your more likely to see me giving little kids & their parents rides around the field than sitting there in the sun. Sadly, many prestigious clubs (AACA included) have the same issues of snobbery in certain groups, but in general there are more than a few who will go out of their way to help.

These were to hold brake lining in place on the shoes.

Long shot, but there is a restoration shop in Maine named "Firefly Restorations" - they specialize in fire equipment - phone - 207-763-3828 If anyone knows who, it would be them...

You have a PM

I'm not sure on the other years it might fit - my car (sold in Y2K) was a 24, which is how I know what little I've retained. I read any post with that subject mostly out of curiosity. Does the light read just the word "STOP" or does it have "Studebaker Stop" when lit? I've seen both in the back plate.

Not an accessory, but that is the standard tail lamp for a Big 6 - the Special 6 had a plain rim but used the same housing and the light 6 was different. Some of the years would read "Studebaker Stop" when lit - you should take the bezel off and see if it does - might mean something to a potential buyer.

At 12+ years old this post is pretty dead, and I do not think you will have a reply *****BUT - I would suggest you place a for-sale ad here as it is a great place to start.

The picture of the side is better than a motor number - the block was cast on 9-26-13 making his October dating above very reasonable. Too many other things wrong to be a HPOF car and T's are pretty common. At lease Matt is being very honest about the condition unlike many other sellers. Good luck with the sale.

With 3 posts and now feeling like an idiot after it was ID'd as a mirror base I'll bet the poster is not going to return...

And I thought Sonny had a 31...
