Early automotive windshield i.d

[Robert laroo]

I have a windshield I'm trying to i.d to hopefully get it to a collector and on a vehicle and not my storage unit. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Very unusual mount. It’s not for a front windscreen of a car I would say. Boat possibly, or a rear mounted for a rumble seat possibly.

It might be one you could buy for a C-cab truck that didn't come out with one at all.

Very high quality hardware. Most trucks were a lot more basic and rarely fold down. I have looked at many period photo's of early trucks when researching my 1918 Packard 2 ton. But I can't say I have ever seen hardware this elaborate.  Boat sounds more likely.

Typical of an early accessory outlet house windshield. I've seen others, but not this particular one. I'm interested if for sale. Size and location would be helpful.

Its 42×32 with the mounting brackets extending another 10" down but with them removed and the wind folded down it should get the shipping down.  What's the value? Is it worth to ship from 05906 area code.

Boat windshields are generally well anchored,often V-shaped and slanted back so if a wave breaks over the bow,they survive. With this windshield it would be one and done,glass and splinters all over the boat.
