Cell phone pictures of the tool & another PM has been sent.

There were a lot of early cars that used a pressurized fuel system - you would use an air pump on your dash to add air to the tank forcing the gas from the carb. Could go either way - radiator or gas. I'm leaning gas with the very thick leather gasket - or higher pressure, like the H2O port on a steam car???

Last time I bought an aluminum keg like that the deposit was only $15.00 Which made them good gas tanks in the 60's & 70's

That looks like an attachment to use a hand drill as a drill press.

This is a "Center-door" sedan - and as the name implies has one door in the center on each side - the year is going to be tougher but would assume it is in the 1922-24 era.

I think the "One-Man" top is 23-25 - Absolutely Model T Ford, no question...

Viking was the companion car to Olsmobile and I'm pretty sure only made in 29 & 30 - as for value, it depends on a few things other than the rarity of the car itself - condition, condition, condition. Selling it on e-bay would set the value on a world-wide market.

PDCD on the key = Plymouth, Dodge, Chrysler & DeSoto - it has that 30's look to me

Do you have a picture of what you are looking for?

NOT T Ford - but that would explain the no-bids as $21.00 for just about any T horn is cheap money. I usually take the fixed shipping into account before bidding and try to get it for a total that fits in with the value I place on the item in question - not knowing the exact application for the horn will not help sales...

The quality of the castings looks a bit rough to be original - I'd guess they were modern reproductions done to fill in for a very rare pair of originals.

25-26-27 Studebaker I believe - try posting in that forum for a better answer

It is a late 20's Peerless - you may get a better responce from the Peerless forumthread as the hood ornament should narrow down the model numbers it was used on.

Here is the link if you missed it - the other one there now is a piece of junk...RARE 1926 Pontiac Indian Head Hood Ornament Radiator Cap Mascot Ternstedt | eBay

Was one on last night - you might want to try radiator ornament, hood mascot, etc instead of a specific search - many items are not known what they fit but have generic descriptions. If I think of it tonight I'll look it up and let you know the auction number.

Well - at first reading your ad I was thinking you were looking for a whole car - just about 1 week after being asked my opinion on a large hoard of 24 EK & EL stuff in PA. Not being sure if the owner has decided to sell or not I was going to forward this post to his attention - I do not think he would loan out the splash shield for his touring, but you never know. Good Luck

VERY common item on e-bay - I'd look there before trying to buy one from a collector who may value it much higher than you could find it elsewhere.

The emblem is in the lower right hand corner - I've thought the same thing before - looks like a VW but the "Westcott" name across the middle gives it away...

Might be helpful - might not, but I'm up to nearly 2.5 times that price for a 29 Standard Roadster in slightly better condition - my engine was running and smooth, couple of holes on the front seat and the rumble seat was re-done in naugahide in the 50's or so but not too far off of that Coupe - my advice is run, don't walk, to the nearest bank... It was seeing a 31 coupe in that condition that sold me on having an original car and I've seen originals bringing nearly as good money as older restorations for the exact reasons above - it's only original once. That and most of the older restorations will need nearly the same amount of work to be safe on the road - brakes, king-pins, bushings, etc.

As stated above, these were afermarket items - there were many people making them in the late teens thru the 1920's. The diameter of the bore & of the wheel will help to identify a car it "could" fit which is pretty much any car with that sise steering shaft - Ford T, Chevrolet, Dodge, Essex, etc

This picture might show more detail on the bottom half of that ornament - watch out for the condition of the hand holding the jousting rod - the set screw makes it very fragile there and many are broken underneath.

Three days to go.

Please see e-bay auction which ends next Sunday night at this link; Awesome Brass Era Wicker Cased Automobile Picnic Set 1900's Brooks Bros GWS s Co | eBay This set is fresh to the market having been purchased from an estate on Mount Desert Island <st1:State w:st="on"><ST1:place w:st="on">Maine</ST1:place></st1:State> – the reserve is set to cover my purchase price only and it is quite low compared to the intense quality of this set. Please look over all 12 pictures and ask questions before bidding. <O:p></O:p> Here's everyone's chance to own a very nice & complete set for six which includes the following items: <O:p></O:p> *(6) Forks *(6) Knives *(6) Spoons *(1 each) Salt & Pepper spoons *Note - All silverware is hallmarked "G W S & S" on reverse which I’ve been told is for the George W. Scott & Sons company out of Birmingham England - the knives also have the full company logo etched into the Sheffield Steel blades, the same logo is also found on the bottom of the two crockery jars and the case liner. I’ve not tested to see if the cutlery is silver, and I would not be surprised if it were but I am selling this as unknown and let you be the judge on that. (1) Copper & Brass Teapot with rattan covered handle and internal tea strainer – it is marked "G W S & S" and the bottom finish is clean as if it were unused (1) Alcohol burner with snuff cover & holder for teapot – the burner has been used (1) Alcohol fuel tank for burner which fits inside the holder – small corrosion on bottom of this (1) Can & bottle opener marked "Clipper" and "Best Sheffield Steel" (6) 7 1/2" Diameter porcelain plates - unmarked (6) 7" Diameter porcelain plates marked “<ST1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">Sweden</st1:country-region></ST1:place>” (6) Porcelain saucers - unmarked (6) Porcelain tea cups marked “<ST1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">Sweden</st1:country-region></ST1:place>” (3) Graduated in size porcelain boxes with silvered spring-loaded covers marked “Rd. No. 300244” (6) Drinking glasses- there are 2 sets of 3 sizes which are graduated to fit into each other - all 6 with rattan coverings - I’ve noticed only two tiny rim chip to one of the largest glasses (1 each) Salt & pepper jars - rattan covered with silvered lids that are made to fit into each of the drinking glass sets (1 each) Butter and Preserves crockery jars with lids and leather straps to hold lids in place - one lid is chipped as can be seen in the pictures. Both have the company logo and are marked “Rd. No. 184988” (1) Padlock with the key – the lock is marked “hand made” These items are fitted into a 27" x 17" x 12" high natural wicker chest having 2 handles at the ends, 2 flip-latches marked “Scott’s Patent” with a steel rod which passes thru these to the lock, mentioned above, and there is also a leather strap & buckle around the set to secure it to an automobile running board or trunk rack - the leather strap is dry and crackled with a rust stain where the buckle & rod come together. The inside of the set has the George Scott company logo imprinted on one side of the liner and the Brooks Brothers logo on the other.

I'd love to see a picture some time. This seems like a million years ago - early 1980's - I'd bought an entire radiator with shell & headlamps - the Lexington lights mounted to the side of the shell to remove an un-enameled emblem for my collection. I wound up trading the rest - which included the most ornate of "monogram" lenses to a gentleman from Canada who was restoring one. I still don't have the enameled version of the badge, but I do have a brass script which is impressive. If you look thru my images you will find them somewhere.

Funny? Maybe & maybe not - but that is pretty much the reaction I get at work talking about my cars - but if someone is cleaning out an old barn they call me first. I can't take much offence to it considering the source is a comic who makes his living insulting people about every day life events. And yes, I'm an Engineer who reads Dilbert and have to admit that there have been more times than not when I've wondered if he were a co-worker just out of one of our meetings...
