I have been cleaning off some shelves of my fathers things, the first looks to be some kind of spare tire bracket marked Stone Mfg co, Chicago Il
the other is a pedal with plunger, I don't know if the top item is a pair or only one was used, thank you, Bob

Here are 2 patents for the tire carrier.
In # 1592575 it would appear that the inventor intended them to be used in sets of three,
judging by the offset positioning and tip of a third clamp (#20) showing in the drawing.
Your clamps use this earlier style of clamp bolt .

Samuel M. Stone

Spare Tire Carrier for Automobiles
Patent number: 1592575
Filing date: Apr 2, 1923
Issue date: Jul 13, 1926

The drawing for this patent still shows the offset positioning of the clamps,
but the tip of the third clamp is missing from the drawing. ???
(Note L shaped bolt, no lug on casting)

Patent number: 1592576

Looks like some sort of step.

The second item is a cruise control, for cars with foot feed accelerator. It bolts to the floor next to the pedal and is adjusted to give the particular speed the driver wants. In operation the foot rests on the cruise control and the accelerator pedal at the same height.

Trust me.

I have two of those same spare clamps. I always thought there were supposed to be three. What would you take for one or both of them?

I just dug the NOS boxed set out we have and it takes THREE clamps to make a complete unit. Give me a minute and I will post them as today's ACCESSORY OF THE DAY.
