Guest dlyman Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 These two brackets (for lack of a better description) are mounted on the inside of the window track of my 1926 Chrysler. The label appears to read "Made by Dunn Manufacturing Clarinda, Iowa." Does anyone know what they are (for)? Does anyone have a photo of what the entire product looks like? Thanks in advance!

keiser31 Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Probably for a type of window shade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wldavis Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 dly, Doing a search on the internet, it shows this company in Iowa manufactured radios. And, another "hit" on a Ford website, talks about a dash with gauges made by this company. Wild guess: could what you have be a radio antenna ?

keiser31 Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Maybe part of this type of shade.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
30DodgePanel Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 (edited) I agree with John, probably part of a rail left over from a after market window shade. See attached photo (click on it a few times to enlarge).

Item #79 http://www.freepatentsonline.com/result.html?p=2&sort=relevance&srch=top&patents=on&query_txt=william+dunn If you search the patent website list I provided you'll notice there are quite a few "awning structure" patents submitted by Mr Dunn...

Hudsy Wudsy Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 I've also seen canvas window awnings on cars of this vintage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hudsy Wudsy Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 This Whippet picture that someone just posted shows the canvas awning to which I was referring: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
