Model T Ford Forum: Forum 2017: Is this battery cover genuine or reproduction?

I bought this battery cover, and I am curious if it is a genuine Ford part or if it is a reproduction. Either way I'll use it on my Larry Smith battery box as it was a good deal, but I was just curious.

Looks right for a square corner lid to me, good score!

AFAIK, covers have not been repro'd, so I guess yours is original, but I'm no authority!

Mark, it was a very reasonable (to me) price. I bought it online so i didn't know the top was bowed down, I had most of that straightend in 5 minutes. A little more tweaking on it and it should be good to go.

David, I wasn't sure if they had been produced or not. Langs list a whole box, but not the two lids.

Either way, as I said I was happy and can now complete my battery box.

It is an original cover used from 25-27. The repros have more tabs to keep the lid from going cockeyed, AND, they are the wrong size, as are the battery boxes!
