    image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg So I have time off and cleaning up a bit and running across parts I have no idea what they are.
    A is a crazy Jeweled light with pat pending
    B. Is what look like sun visors of some sort ..
    C. Is a ford script with a razor blade finger ..
    D. This is a Mascot of a girl ..?
    E. Cool ashtray for??
    Thanks for the help in identifying my goodies
     
  2. I’m going to say that the Ford piece is related to tractor/agriculture use, think of a baling string cutter, for hay bales.

    there were tons of accessory's made in the 20's. the girl was most likely an add-on to the cap, whats it look like on the inside, home made? the visor's i think are aftermarket, but very cool, nice and heavy duty. look good in some big early 20's car. ashtray, aftermarket, lets see some more of the jeweled light, i have kind of a light fetish

    The Ford piece was used in auto parts stores to cut the heavy, straight radiator hose to needed length. The hose comes in various diameters and 3 foot lengths. I have one that came from my great-grandfather's parts store. The hose is still available and I still use mine. Actually says FoMoCo.
     
  9. Well, I was close...

    The girl is made of nonmetallic but not aluminum and is heavy and too detail for homemade:oops:

    i did not mean to imply the girl was home made, but an accessory that was attached to the cap at home is my guess. is the mounting screw inside all look factory?

    Rusty Valley you are right as I put her on that cap so it was a homade setup:D.
    It has a 10-24 threaded stud for mounting but no makers mark .. I dont know why but I am a sucker for mascots. I know some are not mascots but trophy’s or aftermarket accessories as you said. I know some are just statues too like this funny one and will be using this on something as it was a gag toy. image.jpg

    franklyn's were air cooled, so that rules them out! big fancy car though i suspect as the cheaper cars were mostly stamped and thin. you are on the right track calling her the goddess of speed, thats the packard lady and yours may be a JC whitney or similar copy. i like the dog, thats a dandy!

    It’s 6 inches so I believe it could be used for either and doesn’t look to bad and sure you could hook up a brake light to one of the jewels .
