That is an Oldsmobille emblem, but I don't know what year used that hubcap.

Thank you for the link Mr Binger. And thanks for the offer Jim, but the one I need a tube for is in the shape of a lighthouse and is not your average meter. That and the fact I live on the coast is why I want to fix it... Thanks again, Mark

Does anyone know where to purchase repair parts for motometers? I have one that needs the thermometer replaced and can't seem to locate a supplier. Thank you in advance for any help. Regards, Mark

I looked it up last night and it looks to be used from 1914 thru 1921. Neat item, would like to find one someday.

Looks like the original style knob from a Ruckstell axle for a model T Ford. You can buy a new repro one for about 18 bucks from the Ford parts suppliers.

Thank you once again. Funny, but I have been collecting emblems since the mid 70's and there are very few books that even scratch the surface on the subject. Whenever I get the chance I like to know what years/models they fit.

31Pierce43, I'd like to thank you for giving the years of the first one, could you tell me the years for the other cover I have one which in this picture. Thank you.

picture...

The ornament is hollow and very thin (tap it with a fingernail and it sounds thin), the threads on the bottom are huge in proportion to the weight, something like 5/8 to 3/4 diameter fine thread and there is a large round alignment step between the cap and the ornament, roughly 1" diameter by 3/16 high. An early ornament will have a bakalite cap, the later ones are nickel over bronze, the attached picture is on the later cap and an aluminum base, so it might be hard to see between them. The copyright marking is on the back of his neck near the cap.

Brisco for sure, early 20's?, not too sure of date, but I can look it up tonight when I get home from work. The hubcap looks like that only flatter, and is usually mistaken as the radiator cap.

Dodge hood ornament was a ram, Plymouth was a lady, my vote is 33 Plymouth...

It might fit as a gas cap, but it is most likely the crank hole cover. If this will take my picture, compare what you have to the emblem under the B in the Buick script. If it does not take the picture I'll send you a PM.

The NH fits the model T from around 1920 thru early 26.

I think you actually have the crank hole cover. Any way to post a picture?

Good detailed pictures front and rear if you post on e-bay. Pictures dont have to be huge to get a vague idea of the value to a collector who knows what he is looking at...

A picture or three would help...

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Nope, not Model T or Model A Ford--as those seats had folding backs...</div></div> Please excuse my ignorance with A's, I made an assumption based on the model T's that the front drivers seat did not fold. I usually don't argue, but Ford Tudor sedans in 1926 have a non-folding seat on the drivers side. The passengers seat folds and has visible irons as Art stated above, but the drivers seat does not fold, it does hinge forward for no good reason as the access thru the drivers door is poor for the front seat let alone the rear...But the holes on the bottom of your seat do not match the hole pattern on the T. I have a good picture of the bottom of the T seat that I took for someone in the Ford club, but it's too big to post here. If you would like a copy I can e-mail it to you. Regards, Mark

Model A 2-door is possible, looks close to a model T, but it's not quite the right mount pattern.

I owned a 24 Studebaker Special Six that had that exact starter on it, althought I think that it is an earlier starter than 24. I think the basic engine design was simmilar from around 1918-24. I used the Wagner because it was more reliable than the Delco unit that came on my 24, Delco was using lots of pot-metal in those items and the brushes were not allways working right in mine. I bought the Wagner unit from a Camaro dealer at Carlisle for all of 3 dollars...it was marked 5, but he saw me looking and hollered out a price to get rid of it. I think it was one of the only good buys I found there. The clutch component is a one-way ball-bearing wedge affair built into the sprocket on the front of the crank.

Oops...

There used to be a CMC racer that had been a speed record holder in the tees that showed up at a small show in the Lowell Mass area about 20 years ago. It was quite the machine, but I don't think I appreciated it as much as I would now. As far as Chalmers-Detroit, the only thing I have ever seen is the emblem to the lower left of the attached photo. Rare Car indeed.

Holy cow!!! A graveyard of pregnant turtles.... ;-)

Thank you Lisa, I'll be calling your Dad later on this morning to arrange shipping and such.

I called looking for pictures last night, and sent you a personal message here with my e-mail in case it didn't work. Thanks, Mark

How about the moto-meter in the front?
