Very Early Kingston Coil Box and Coils

[pkhammer]

Found this very early wood Kingston Coil box and Coils in the attic of an old shed. I thought maybe it was early Model T at first but now am not sure. Any info would be appreciated. I'd like to see it get into the hands of someone that needs it.

Definitely not model T. It could possibly be a Ford models N/R/S, however I am not an expert on those. There were a lot of cars in the 1905 to 1912 years that used a four coil system. Someone out there will know it the moment they see it. Good luck!

It’s a lot like the one on my father’s 1908 Model S Ford going on memory. I would see if they can verify it in the early Ford section.

 

At one time there was an aftermarket “Master Vibrator” mounted on the front I believe, those holes and wire shouldn’t be there.

Thank you for the replies. It found a home this morning and is going to be used on a 1908 Model S.
