Hello everyone, I was cleaning out my wife's family's estate and found this neat little item. a Theft Warning Auto-Lock. From my research, which is VERY limited on the internet for this item I might add, it seems to be something made for the Model T Ford. Sooo I figured I would come ask the experts to see if anyone can tell me what I have and it's estimated value. I can send pictures upon request, They are too large to upload here.
Thanks!

Art, i always enjoy your patent info posts !!! Byron, i don't know what it is worth but i'd offer $150 for it. The more common type seem to be $75-100 ....... your's is unusual, but no key affects its value some.

Thanks for the offer, but I think I need to try and get more info on it before I sell it.
