they are fender rollers, of days past. They were used in the body business for accidents, instead of replacing or bondo. Do you want to sell them?

Eric, How wide is the C clamp part of the greaser? Looks like it may be a leaf spring greaser, spreads the leaves to allow you to force grease between the leaves. The two pin "bayonet" style grease fittings were out of date by 1928.

You're about a decade and a half too late.

 

Funny, when @The37Kid last responded to this thread I could have just picked up the car phone in the new Oldsmobile, rang up my Lehman Brothers broker, sold off a bit of my Enron shares, had it deposited over at Countrywide, bought them tools and had enough cash left over to swing by Blockbusters on the way home and rent a video for the wife and maybe Toys R Us to grab something for the kiddies.

The more things change the more information I own that doesn't apply anymore.

 

Don’t forget to stop by Woolworth’s and have a pop at the soda counter

 

You could have read you Car Craft and Street Rodder mags as well!

 

Trivia Tip: You can do that at the last Woolworth lunch counter in Bakersfield, Ca. The store it self is an Antique mall. I spotted, and later bought Model A Ford parts while having a fine burger & fries. Bob
