One on the left might be '32 Rockne.

Finally getting around to picturing these horns. I thought they were Italian, but the data plate has a Paris address. I've seen this brand pictured in a late 20's Czech accessory catalog, and also are pictured on a '30's Mercedes in a '50's issue of the CCC of A magazine Classic Car. Otherwise no other sightings of these in the 35 or 40 years they have been here. Appears they are mechanically like the Sparton Chime Bugle horn, with the motor driving a vane type compressor.

Peter, I'll be happy to give out apps. Susan, Thanks.

Just remembered, I still have a chunk of real Hershey mud that I pried from the underside of my blue '64 Comet Caliente one muddy year after I returned home. Knew in my heart it had to be kept! It'll be at my space, CE76, in honor of the good old days.

I remember the headlight-hatted man. His name was Frank Koch I belive, and he was a Model A man, cabriolet I think. He sold stainless steel hood rods for Model A's, and round sheets of 800 sandpaper, both of which I purchased. from him. He also participated in the evening talent show. His antics were somewhat reminiscent of Groucho Marx. A great subtle sense of humor. I also miss Jim Well's huge band organ stationed near the stadium, belting out merry-go-round music, and the airstrip with those great biplanes flying about overhead. Those inexpensive hot breakfasts served off front porches along Parkside Dr. are missed too.

Looks MoPar'ish from what I see, like '35 DeSoto or '36 Dodge. How about it Keiser?

How about '39 Mercury.....

A '36 Auburn would be an "852", a '35 would be an "851". Other than the numeric identification on the grille, the two years were indistinguishable. Year-end '35 leftovers were updated to '36's by changeing those numbers!

Pair of these motor driven Ca. 1930 European horns, rare. The trumpets are very restorable with just one needing minor straightening, motors may require some challengeing work due to poor storage. For PI Rolls Royce; engine starting crank, fan assembly less blades, and a fan belt idler pulley. I can bring these to Hershey, but probably won't unless requested to do so.

An Auburn ambulance isn't THAT surprizing..... but how about a Cord 810 ambulance? Now that was a stretch.... (pun intended) I saw one in the flesh at the ACD parts/repair facility in Auburn in 1952.

I sent you a pm regarding a tail light I have from a '46-'48 Buick woodie.

My preference would be to swap these for runs of issues from Vol. 26 and newer. Also needed is Vol. 25 #1 I will consider breaking up my run from either end, but not in the middle. Hershey delivery/pickup desired. I will also consider selling these duplicates outright.

Thanks guys. I had heard there was some kind of a chemical approach to sharpening them rather than re-grinding, but didn't know what it was. I have some dull ones I'll try both methods on and eventually report back.

In the '40's-'50's some suppliers (Ex. Mattos in the D. C. area) offered either new Vixen files or used ones that had been resharpened ( for a buck!) I don't remember the price of "new", but it was enough to induce me to buy "resharpened". These files are still a must for pick-&-file bodywork and leading, and new ones are still around, Eastwood, etc. But today's pricey price induces me to ask.... is there a source today to get these files resharpened or buy them that way?

They aren't '34 Chevy, see picture of one. Incidentally, that '34 Chevy one doesn't have any ID number that is apparent either. The mystery brackets are GM I believe, and came from a wide car with outsweeping front fenders, note angle where they attach. If not Caddy maybe Buick?.

Try '33 Cadillac

Thanks Commodore

Thanks.

Thanks. The 2 we think are Chevy aren't marked as far as i can see. The business end of both appear to be identical. The flat round one shows no marking. The short shiny one is a Sparton, no other clues. The remaining longer one is Delco Remy, embossed inside.

&^%$# it, I meant to say "my post below" Sorry guys.

Here is a full view of the Schebler carburetor, see my post above. Also, look at the Ensign carburetor above, what is the function of the green Splitdorf item on its lower left that looks like the top of a spark plug? It has an electrical terminal; a pre-heater? Electrically engaged enrichener??

From the left, Schebler "R"; Ensign "AN1"; Stromberg "LB 1"; Stromberg "L2". Horn is Stewart Warner, model 132-H. What do these fir?? Thanks for looking. DAve

What are these from? Is the one with the trumpet '34 Chev?

Thank you! I'd never have found it. Dave p.s. Stude guys, it can be had cheap!

Still uncertain about what the bumper tip is for. While perusing Automobile Quarterly 23 #3 on p 307 there is a picture of a Raymond Loewy custom '41 Lincoln Continental with this bumper tip. However, the bumper itself isn't correct, and the tip doesn't appear to fit exactly right. Could this really go to the '41 L C, thus being a case of wrong bumper but right tip? I have 2 of these nos tips, both for the right side.
