SOLD!! 1912-1913 Brass Jno. Brown 19 Headlight CHEAP!!

Here we have a really nice original solid headlight. Used on 1912 and early 1913 T's. May used on 1911's (?) You be the judge. There are a few tiny cracks and dents in the body and bezel, ONE tiny tight crack in the bezel. Nothing that looks like it's going to get worse from use. Glass is good. Hing...

Re: Canadian Coil Box Brass Switch Plate Replicas 1913-1915, any interest for Canadian/Australian/New Zealand model T’s?

I have pricing for a run of 50 plates. If I proceed, the plates will be $35.00 in US dollars each. I think we have 35 or 36 interested so I feel this is worth doing. These plates do not have black painted background, they will be etched as my original is. See pic above. If you have not already expre...

Just an FYI, It may take 3-4 weeks to get a price quote. I've already sent my original to the USA to get the plates done, but we'll get the quote first so we all know what they will cost.
Cheers,
Darren

Re: Canadian Coil Box Switch Cover Plate 1913-1915 Replicas

I contacted RV regarding the Canadian plates. He has not made them but is willing to assist in having them made. If I can get 15 - 25 interested, we may be able to get these made at an affordable price. I will also put a post on Facebook to generate some further interest. Let’s see what happens. RV ...

Canadian Coil Box Brass Switch Plate Replicas 1913-1915, any interest for Canadian/Australian/New Zealand model T’s?

I’ve had a couple of guys ask about replication of these plates. I own an original to copy. I can look into doing these if there’s enough interest. Hopefully it’s as successful as the 1912 data plates. Note that these always say Ford, Ontario. I’ve never seen a “Walkerville” example and doubt that t...

Re: Matching Numbers?

The car that was used to recently replicate data plates in my latest project is a Canadian 1914 that has an ORIGINAL data plate that MATCHES the motor. This car has been in the same family since NEW. The grandson of the original owner has all the documentation of the car including the original bill ...

Some of the plates are arriving at their destinations and the kind words coming in about how happy everyone is and how much they like the quality of the artwork makes me feel this was really worth it! It’s a great feeling when I know I’ve helped Canadian Ford enthusiasts from literally around the gl...

Re: Attention Canadian, Australian, UK 1912-13 T owners re: large ID plate

The plates turned out beautiful! I forgot to add the Canadian applicable taxes to the final cost so the plates are $22.35 each, in Canadian funds. I will have to figure out the shipping costs for all of you so please be patient. If you originally asked for a plate(s), you’re on my list. If you are o...

Just a quick update….plates should be done in a few days hopefully. I’ll post here when they’re ready and start contacting all the folks who had interest first. I did make a list. After that if there’s any left over I’ll post that in the classifieds.

Final artwork, everything is fixed. I'm very happy with the results and will proceed to approve artwork immediately. They tell me that the plates will take 1-2 weeks.

Hope everyone is happy with the results!
