I have had a change in direction and my Model T tool collection needs to be moved on.

KRW Pan Jig and tooling

First option on smaller tools, KRW, Stevens etc will be offered to the purchaser of the big items. Don’t ask about the smalls, unless you’ve taken the big rigs. :P

FS: One Kingston 4-Ball carburetor body only, the butterflys, balls, float bowl, etc. are all gone, just the body is here. The brass looks good, no cracks or major damage. It looks like a good start for a rebuild, but you don't know until you start digging into it. Asking $40 not including shipping.

I was breaking down an early transmission/flywheel assembly and got a little surprise.
One of the magnets came off in two pieces!
It looks like it's an original assembly as indicated by what appears to be the original lock wire.
There was no indication the magnet was broken.

Yup - They're out there.

This is a set of cast iron stops that mount to a T front axle. I’m guessing the idea was to keep the spindles from going over center.

There looks to be a manufacturer name cast in them but I can’t make it out.

I’ve never seen another set like this before. Would make a really great addition to any Model T accessory collection.

I am trying to find out any information on Curt Austin (I believe out of Roscoe, IL) and his vehicle restorations. His name keeps coming up (in passing) in connection with some high-end restorations, but nothing more than it was restored by Curt Austin.

About 25% of early Ford sales information survived in the Accounts Receivable ledger books at The Henry Ford, Benson Library. Trent Boggess tirelessly entered the data by hand (thousands of records) into a database included with Carl Pate’s (RIP) Early Ford book.

Ford Motor Co. began selling cars in July 1903. The company experienced immediate success, and sold almost 200 cars by the start of their first full fiscal year, beginning October 1, 1903. The Electric Vehicle Co. wasted little time initiating a law suit. This author indicates the suit is expected to last for years. He was right.
