I think it looks like a WK - like the one this came from... The heavy aluminum hubcaps also point that way.
-
I've seen a Jaguar that looked simmilar and would be in the size range - that body is smaller than the first couple of pictures make it appear.
-
Is that a radiator shell in the trunk? If so it's picture might help...
-
Wonder if the body is also Selden - I'm not sure if he put a patent plate on his own cars.

There was a guy from Pennsylvania who had literally hundreds of stock certificates from Studebaker and not so many from Packard for sale at the York meet 10-12 years ago. his prices range from $45 for the early ones to $15 for the late ones - I bought a nice Studebaker one to go with my car at the time - I must have given it to the new owner as I have not tripped across it in years. Research on e-bay sold items would tell you a value based on the age and Packard name and being SOLD gives actual value based on at leat two peoples opinion. I will say is that if it were MY grandmothers it would be cherished even if it would sell for a lot more than $700

WTB Robe Bar, and foot rest for 28 Pres.
TheMoneyPit replied to a topic in Studebaker, Erskine & Rockne
Does anyone have pictures - I had some left-over Studebaker stuff that did not go with a 24 Special Six I sold in 2000 - not sure where but I wolud remember if they were close to what Dave is looking for. Measurements of the foot rail brackets would help too. -
The cowl light and hucaps on the sedan look like 25 Studebaker to me - Coupe could be Buick looking at the fenders, but I'm not sure there
-
E-bay wouldhit high for those - Hot-Rodders would go for them too

Some reason I'm thinking Studebaker President...

No sites that I know of for horns. One other thought hit me is that it may also have been made to hang under the hood from the radiator support rod. It's a nice looking horn - Sparton made many styles but I don't know of any application charts that would help.
-
The bracket is most likely headlight bar, but Motorcycles did mount to the center of the handlebars too - would do either...
-
The quality of the lady is nice, but 8.5" is pretty tall for a radiator piece, it is not well plated for the weather, and looks like the mounting would have been fragile for her weight. I would think it was a higher quality bronze that was liberated from her base. The light looks more like a license plate lamp from the later 30's The wind wings are for an open car - they are made to mount to the windshield post and give a really classy look to a car. These could be aftermarket for many cars, but the mounting could also be specific to one maker...

There was a 3-wire socket on e-bay selling for over $100 - seller said Packard. I'd do some research on the plug and see it came from the same...

I agree with that. Sadly the "kids" in the hobby look at newer and newer cars and while Brass has seen a comeback there seems to be very little interest in the 20's unless we are talking the Classic cars - and even they seem a bit slow. My opinion too, and I love cars from the 20's as well.

The tractor one would have been painted - I was thinking Reo or Nash.

There was a Rambler with that style of curtain windshield that used to show up at several shows in the southern New England area. Not sure if it was a Rambler thing or an aftermarket item for large early cars...
-
There was a 2-ton Manley for sale on one of the Model T Websites last summer for $400.00 - it was located well up into Maine. Seems to be some interest in fitting them to TT Trucks in place of the original beds which are harder to find.
-
More pictures would help - as well as a list of what parts are under the car. It looks like the front apron is there - this would be a hard part to come up with if missing, also a cylinder head - what is the condition of the engine??? I sold a running roadworthy 24 Special 6 touring in 2000 for $6500 with many spare parts - since then I dont think the value of 20's cars has held much ground ESPECIALLY closed cars and while it looks like a great start, the interest might not be there...

The ones at Hershey ranged from $500 to $1500 - at least the ones I looked at. I'd guess yours would be on the high end of that limit.

There is a repro of the Comet on the Chevrolet shell on the previous page of threads. I'm 100% sure is is one of Pulfer's creations. As for makers, these are the ones I can hit off the top of my head - Fox, Greenduck, Whitehead & Hoag, D. L. Auld, Bastian Brothers, Robbins & Co., S. D. Childs, L. F. Grammes, and Gorham (on Waltham emblem only) I don't know much about the histories of these companies, but would love to...

There was a dealer at Hershey one year with a whole fleet of early automotive weathervanes. The sedans were more expensive than open cars, but all of them were old hollow stamped zinc cars from the teens. I wish I'd had the cash to buy one at the time, but... No story - they were made durring the same time period where many things had car themes - it was a fad of the era.

The other has a Lasalle look to it

What are the nut sizes on the two ends? This one measures 3.25 long with .228 and.346 openings and .012 and .015 feeler gages. Feelers marked "PLUG" & "MAG" but not marked Delco

The back of the Pan-Am is not all that informative - the old mounting was removed and a stud soldered in it's place - I did this in the early 1980's when it was mounted. The old mounting disc was not the typical dished-washer, but had a series of fingers with a spring washer inside. At the time I had a can full of diferent mounting cups that can't be found now - moved too many times since...
