I agree that the value is in the love of the collection, but also think that we should keep our loved ones in the know regarding the actual cash value of a collection. I know that what I've collected will end up being sold after I'm gone and I'd want my wife to get a fair offer rather than be blinded by some opportunistic a** with a good line of BS. There have been many instances locally where a loved one has lied to his spouse about the true value only to die and their familly sell off their loved cars for less than a fair value.

Fan is not T Ford, but I'd have guessed Studebaker Light 6 for some unknown reason - the Special 6 had a simmilar adjustment arm.

Type Karla Maxwell into a search - she reproduced a Chalmers Detroit emblem for someone using only photograph's & measurements from an original. Her work was phenominal.

This is sitting in a local antique shop - it is a bit pricey but the word interesting comes to mind - the bed is missing the side rails, but is what makes the set in my mind... The one dresser is a movie theater, the mirrored dressor is a house, and the desk an appartment building. This is a factory made set with original paint - talk about a rich kids room...

YES, they have value as the many questions regarding selling them will attest... You can do some research on e-bay as to the selling value, and with any luck someone here will know the applications for that specific size.

Picture #4 seems to have a marking along the edge at the bottom - if so it could tell a lot. My guess is it is an aftermarket item, and being so unusual I'd also venture it would be very desireable - aka valuable...

Sorry, but CANADIAN tourings had 4 doors much earlier than 26 - my mind was in the wrong country...

That depends on the year - earlier carriers for the demountable 30 x 3.5 rims were riveted to the frame at the rear. These carriers came with two different length arms to clear the rear of different bodies - there was almost a full loop at the wheel mount area. The 26-27 cars had the gooseneck which, as mentioned above, attaches to the rear spring hanger u-bolts and under the steel plates from the hanger (giving more support to the gooseneck mounting holes) - then there is either longer studs on the gooseneck for a wire wheel to attach directly, or shorter studs where the "chicken-foot" shaped Y-carrier is attached with very thin nuts.

1924 Studebaker Special Six had the same windshield frame, but not the contour in the side of the body - Light Six?

Looks like one of many "speedster" bodies made in the teens thru the twenties that would allow an old car to be dressed up. I think it looks pretty well made and could be a Murcury body but not positive. It does not look home-made, but it does look like it was made for a brass radiator car with the 15 hood former at the front of it. The fenders are earlier too - straight out were changed in 15 to be rounded down in the back & had flares in the fronts. I like the looks of it though I'm not sure I could get into it too well...

For some reason it looks like the glass lens from a mid 20'd tail light added to a later rim - I think the lens would fit a drum light I have on my T which used to be from a DB car. If so I'd be interested in the glass if it is available.

I remember this thread - Pulled from a Ford Model S rear end I was looking for information to be able to sell them. I wound up selling them to a Forum member with a Hupp who contacted me about them off line.

That looks an awful lot like the front end suispension of a VW bug to me...

I've seen any and all at flea's before and wondered the same thing. The bottom center looks like the one from a 24 Studebaker I had many years ago - the top center and two lower at the left look like the thread matches closely with Model T Ford cars gas and /or radiator - these could have been to dress-up a round tank on a speedster. The left top looks the same only too small for a T and for some reason I think Buick on the three to the right - no clue on the one in the dead center...

Does the one in the center look like yours? If so, it is an ash tray...

Learn something new every day - I thought it was something you hung a watch from...

I would have to un-mount mine from it's display to see, but I believe it is also was never mounted to a vehicle. You can see it in the center of the Chevrolet shell - the windsor is in the upper right corner of the Essex shell and has the similar shield in it.

The radiator emblem looks like an early Fiat... Any way to enlarge the radiator script?

I have been collecting emblems for 35+ years and (((if that is not the emblem sold on e-bay recently))) you have the third of that particular emblem I've ever seen! I too have tried to establish which model it came from, but have no proof of this - I assume it comes from the 1929-1930 "Prince of Windsor" model because it very closely resembles the shape & mounting style of the Windsor emblem, which that model would eventually become after a reorganization of Moon. A nice find!

A picture is worth a thousand words... But, the eagle is an aftermarket item - I had one on a 1924 Studebaker, my father has a slightly smaller one on his Model T Ford, and there is an early 20's Chevy with another one in the area (New England USA). The T one is a good 2" shorter wingspan than the Stude one was. They are all the same, but different mounting threads & sizes depending on the car it was going onto.

In 1926 Ford entered the "accessory" market by offering Bumpers, Wire Wheels, a drum style stop-tail lamp, vacuume windshield wipers, and "Snubbers" which are a cable shock absorber system with one unit front and rear. These were all dealer installed, but Ford script optional equipment. What you have there is a rear snubber - there was suposedly a different set for open versus closed cars, but I assume it was an adjustment was the diference. For whatever reason the front seems harder to find than the rear, but they are not easy to find as the aftermarket ones were cheaper.

Is this a complete car, or just the body you mention?

It does untill you look at the mechanism - the Ford T seat from the early 1920's lifted the single rear post with a long bent wire piece that was also used as the hinge pin on the two front legs. Maybe there was a difference in the earlier years and this is earlier than the ones I've seen.

Most of the model T parts vendors carry an adaptor to put a 14mm plug into the T head - aka 1/2" pipe thread. Could this be easier? Or buy a reducer 1/2 NPT to 1/8 NPT and do the same as above thread suggests.

Most of the thread-on carb's I've seen were either marine or stationary engine use. This does not mean that a very early car did not use them, but the throttle & air intake look stationary to me.
