alsfarms Posted January 26, 2021 Author Share Posted January 26, 2021 Here is a link to the huge Locomobile literature collection now held by the Bridgeport Public Library. They are very nice and helpful to deal with. If you need or want anything listed give them a try. The list is extensive!! https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://bportlibrary.org/hc/wp-content/uploads/BHC-MSS-0003-Records-of-the-Locomobile-Company-of-America.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwipp-LMyrTqAhXiWhUIHVFzBakQFjAIegQIAxAB&usg=AOvVaw2Du2pN8iz6j7WGKE73Yuf6 Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsfarms Posted February 22, 2021 Author Share Posted February 22, 2021 I have a "parts wanted" question on the reproduction Vanderbilt trophy radiator cap ornament used on the early Locomobile automobile to celebrate the Vanderbilt win of 1908. Please re-look at the picture I posted on Oct 18. If you have an original trophy ornament or know of someone that has one please share a reference. I have a question.

alsfarms Posted November 8, 2021 Author Share Posted November 8, 2021 I need a pair of fluted lenses as per the attached picture. The OD that you see is 10-3/4" and the overall OD is 11-1/2".

alsfarms Posted December 7, 2022 Author Share Posted December 7, 2022 Thanks for the posting on a #6 Buffalo wire wheel for sale. Sadly for me, if this is a correct #6 Buffalo wire wheel for a 1928 Cadillac, it will be a 20" not a 21" like I need. Keep your eye open, I know what I need is out there, I just haven't looked under the right rock yet! Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prewarnut Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Al here's an Ebay link for a couple of cheap Yale locks (not sure if you found one). It is unclear if the inner cylinder is the right diameter or keyed for the right profile. It may take some trial and error but as others on the forum before have mentioned, going to an old time locksmith may be the solution. Obviously re-pinning for your key will be needed (but that's child's play - for me). https://www.ebay.com/itm/404031777057?hash=item5e122ba921:g:soQAAOSwGcBjjAfZ&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAAoD2c8yBiBpgtNmMXUtVgHGQB6LoDxaNFHYIvYZihyBhRAatpQBWsQCEcPnXvNpeUPn1Xlewv21LoWUfJngx2BclpZuLz%2FI2ZfOjYDo5dOKZmjFtoamw3I11Vv6osZtHX79a1hUiFJXNvCj9qcNiS1u8XzqQsKNC6Ru7pje3qi0O%2FxGiNCi%2FSUh%2FxCUKV%2F7Q4Fy8E9fLMux0OjP0qLTZqAO4%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR8zgi8WdYQ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsfarms Posted December 7, 2022 Author Share Posted December 7, 2022 Thanks for this information on eBay. I have located a correct profile lock and partially correct cylinder. I just need to change the pins to match the correct key to match the rest of my auxiliary keys. This lock can certainly be an issue if restoring a car that may not be 100 percent complete like I have started with. The cylinder I found was a short version. I have had to machine a threaded extension for the back and am filing a matching profile on the back to facilitate silver soldering this new threaded extension and the cylinder together. Seems like a big "gyration" but I want all locks functioning with the correct key face numbered properly and keyed to match. I will end up with my desire.

alsfarms Posted December 19, 2022 Author Share Posted December 19, 2022 (edited) I can tell it is getting cold and wintery outside because my mind slips in the learning mode....because it is getting to cold to play outside. On another Locomobile chat thread, a knowledgeable fellow posted a picture of a pair of tags very suitable for use and missing from my 1909 Locomobile Type L. Does anyone have a spare that might have been reproduced in the past of the serial number tag, (not the Selden tag)? Interesting that the serial number shown is very close to my Locmobile....just an interesting coincidence. Here is another "Wanted" Question. Who can interpret the Selden tag number? I understand that the Cadillac guys are on top of Cadillac Selden numbers. Maybe someone here is up on Locomobile Selden Numbers.

alsfarms Posted August 6, 2023 Author Share Posted August 6, 2023 Hello Ben, What you need is smaller than a 38-48 cap. I have not seen exactly the cap you are looking for. Could you post a picture from the top and one from the side so I will know what to watch for in my travels. Lastly, is the cap you need Bakelite over brass with a port for a Moto-meter? Or is it solid brass with a port for a Moto-meter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loco 90 Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 Hi Al, The Model 90 and 8-80 radiator necks are threaded externally as opposed to the Model 48 with internal threads. It is 3 3/4" across the flats. Thanks, Ben 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alsfarms Posted Monday at 02:00 PM Author Share Posted Monday at 02:00 PM Sadly the fellow I refer to has sold all of his remaining Locomobile parts to another collector. He was asked not to share contact information of the news seller. I do think that some of those parts will be made available, but I just do not know when.
