The writing above the lever says "trade mark"

On my cars with the same set up, I would open the top petcock and if oil does not come out, I would add some oil until it comes out. I check it regularly. It is better to have the top side amount of oil for operation than trust the low end. I will always error on the high side. As a friend of mine told me that his father always told him, "son, oil is cheap, engines are not"

Agree with running the grinder with and without the grinding wheels. If off and no vibration, then bad grinding stones. If you are using grinding stones from HF, then throw them away and get some good ones from a hardware store or one of the big box stores. I had the same problem and did as I described above and fixed the vibration. I think I purchased Black & Decker grinding wheels.

If you need some help with contacts at the Sloan Museum, pm me and I will give you all of the information you need. As for the Sloan, if you have not been there recently they have just completed a $30 million dollar remodel. It is spectacular. You might want to reconsider offering some of the items to the Sloan.

Joyce & I took the '15 truck from our shop in Grand Blanc to the Back to the Bricks & Buicks at the Bricks in downtown Flint today. We put about 30 miles on the truck getting ready to do the Lansing-Dearborn tour in a couple of weeks. Jump to about 1:52 in the link and you should see us arriving at GM Factory One. https://www.wnem.com/video/2022/08/20/tv-news-update-saturday-evening-august/

Agree

Looks like a 1905 Buick Model D car.

I would leave it and put it in an auction. Has Buick history attached. Who knows how much it might bring. Maybe a little, or maybe a lot.

I would guess a vacuum gauge for an air conditioning set of gauges.

Were those transmissions built in Cincinnati? I seem to remember that Ford had a transmission plant there.

I am guessing that this is used to install starter bushings. I have one almost an exact duplicate that a friend of mine made for me decades ago.

You might want to post this down the forum in the Buick Pre-War group. You will get all of the answers you want. Lot of helpful people there.

Looks like a lot of fun.. I was visiting my Aunt & Uncle a number of years ago who lived just down the road from the college and you were having your annual get together. I remember a lot of very nice cars. Thanks for bringing back the memories.

Thanks for the reply.

Jon, Found the carb with google. If I am using the correct description, it could be a military carb or for GM COE trucks. Thanks. Larry

Jon, Thank you. Larry

Jon, Thanks for your information. I appreciate it.

We learn something new every day.

Try working on vehicles prior to about 1912 from what I have been told which is when standardized fastener sizes and thread counts were starting to be used. My '08 Buick has bolts & nuts that are in 1/32 of an inch.

I have my Grandpa's claw hammer that has a chip on the hammer face. I did need to replace the handle quite a few years ago. Every time I pick up that hammer I get a rush of great memories of he and I.

I have loaned tools to individuals that I have never met or known before they called me on a problem with their car. We talked for a while about the issue and I determined that I thought they were legit. Sent the tool for them to use, they just had to pay for the postage. Everything worked out fine and the person that borrowed the tool was very appreciative. I just look at doing some of these kindnesses is just paying it forward to help more good people come into and stay in the hobby.

Just a thought

Mercedes also offered one.

John at Waldron's is a good guy.

I have been there on our way out of Joshua Tree national park.
