studeboy1930 Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Not sure exactly what year hood these are. They are both very nice. Could be NOS. It would be great to get them to someone who could use them, and someone who could pick one or both up near Cincinnati, Ohio. Difficult for me to judge the value of them, so please if interested, make an offer. They have been in storage for an incredibly long time. Have a good day!

Steve Braverman Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 I believe these are for 1914 through 1916 series 8. The 1913 hood has a large screened opening in front, and half way through 1916 the series 9 came out which used a different hood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

studeboy1930 Posted September 23, 2008 Author Share Posted September 23, 2008 I am not a Franklin guy, maybe someone here could give an opinion of a fair market value of the hoods. I am pretty sure I will never use them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikewest Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 They are worth what someone will pay you. There isnt much of a market for them,unlike a Ford or other common car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott12180 Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 I believe the gentleman said he was accepting offers for them. If you want them so badly, Mike, why don't you simply make the man an offer? I owned a 1914 Series 5 at one time and spent alot of time looking at that hood. I think the hoods in querstion are pre-Series 8. The Series 8 hood is a little higher and more rounded. So this would put them at around 1914. If the opening in front is a honeycomb mesh, they are Series 4 and 5. If it's a louvered opening like a heat register in a house, it's Series 6 and 7. These hoods tend to crack near the front corners and can benefit from reinforcement. The value on something like this depends on whether someone needs the hood for their car. To fabricate something like this would cost upwards of $1000, it seems. And that's probably conservative. These hoods seem to come up now and because they were pretty handy when an old Franklin was being scrapped. They made a good dog house ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RansomEli Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 I bought one of the hoods and am very happy with it. If I did not know better, I would swear it is NOS or a very early take-off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
