Guest Autoliner Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 I picked up this set of top bows at sale, hoping that it was an aftermarket accessory top for a Model T. However, the attachment points seem to be just barely off from those of the one-man top on my '23 Touring. The ID tag affixed to the inside of one of the irons is pictured below. I have found some patent information for Brewer-Titchener but it appears as though they made folding tops for several different car manufactures. The part I have been unable to figure is the "Ajax Corp" part. I considered whether it was used on an Ajax Touring (1925-1926) but from pictures, it looks like they would require a much larger and wider top.I am seeking information on this top and what kind of car it might belong to. Has anyone run across something like this in their travels or have any information? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFranklin Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 What are the dimensions front to back across the top of the bows? How wide at the rear bow socket attachment at the body? We may figure this out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Autoliner Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Thanks for the response. The dimensions I provided below in parenthesis are those for my Model T to give an idea of scale. The attachment point at the windshield stanchions are 39" (38") on center. The rear bow socket attachment points are approximately 56" (52") wide. The length front to back across the bows is approximately 76". These dimesions are approximate, as the top would take the shape of the car and it's difficult to know how far the top would need to be extended to be positioned correctly.

Guest Autoliner Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Bump. Still looking for any information on this. Would ultimately like to find its proper home if I can rule out a Model T. Will take any questions, comments, speculations or insults. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmhurst_motor Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 It look a little like a maxwell. I am after a set if it turns out it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmhurst_motor Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 I got home tonight and ran the tape measure over my maxwell. The measurements seam pritty close. Not sure however if many makes used the same style of roof sockets and bows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dibarlaw Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 This is what I am looking for my 1925 Buick Standard touring. But on yours with the wood extending the full length on the rear two irons it could be for a 1926-28 standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
