We are looking to sell the 14 Touring, 26 Roadster, 27 Roadster. The 27 comes with a enclosed trailer. This car was driven in the last two years. The 1914 Brass was once owned by James Kenealy (author of the accessories books). Was purchased the car directly from Mr. Kenealy and had it shipped down ...

Did you contact Gilbert Metal Products in El Monte, CA? They make new rims for some lights.

I understand that Nostalgic Reflections reproduces some nice very hard to find parts and labels and it costs them to make them.

Thanks for the responses. I have looked for additional pictures but so far have not found any. Since my family did not have a camera at that time, pictures of them at that time are rare.

Although this is not an accessory or a Model T, I bid on an item on Ebay but was outbid.

These paintings were used in 1953 calend...

George, I tried your method but the dent can’t be reached by a straight dowel. It is farther to the outside of the top so I need to find something with a slight curve. Also, the brass tops have an inner liner so how do you get past that to reach the dent in the brass top?
Any help is appreciated.
