I checked with the body shop at google and it says 51,2 or 3 ford car fender badge for my previous V8 badge post.
Flathead powered 52 and 53 Ford cars used this emblem, possibly used on some earlier ones although I know my '53 had one on it originally. When the Y block came out they changed the design of the V8 emblem.
I know exactly what the seller meant. I tried selling these years ago and couldn’t even get a taker at less than 10K gold value. LOL
I saved this from the trash today. The clock motor was bad, so I changed it out. This clock motor was also salvaged from another clock saved from the trash. Check the hands out.
That's really cool! I haven't seen one of those being used in about 45 years. The last time was during the Iran hostage crisis. They had a ring of them shining into the sky around the Lincoln memorial.
Just a little side bar...the three C's on the bottom means Continental Can Company. My father worked for them for 42 years as a machinist in a couple of their Baltimore plants. Gene.
A white- white rose can, has french on it, not sure who made it, will check the bottom. Not sure how old either. I also have some imperial and quaker state stuff. I like the size and shape of some of these old pails.
Stuff I found over the weekend I’ve never seen a Allen wrench socket set in a box . The ones I have seen the sockets are stored on the Allen wrench .
Got this in a tool lot from my uncle. Shoot-a-lite safety gas lighter made by Turner and Seymour mfg co from Torrington Conn. Works good and looks cool. Still available on amazon.
That, my man, is a perfect tractor tach! Fact is, it probably came on a diesel or a tractor. Most older tractors run below 3 grand so this is a great addition.
My son used mine in his Industrial Arts class in high school, it was a big hit with the teacher, he had never seen one.
My older brothers and I used to run a couple of those at the Indy 500 the night before the race. We would shine them in the usual places that people would sneak in at night. Good times.
