Not a Ford part I've ever seen.

Re: Unusual Top Saddles
Accessory adjustable top bow fastener, missing a chain that fits in the pulley behind the knob.
Cranking knob pulls extended chain around top bow stack to retain preventing rattling.
Edited…, to note chain used in the pulley crank.

Re: Unusual Top Saddles
Dan, I was wondering if there were jewels in the holes?

No jewels! But didn’t look at the adv piece before posting, there wasn’t a fabric strap, but a chain in the pulley. The end of the chain had a clamp to latch over the top iron and pull the stack of irons tight to prevent rattles. Replaced the leather belt like strap.

Re: Unusual Top Saddles
Bad news Steve. Looks like they are only worth $2. And that was when they were new and complete. Seems your business plan is a lot like mine. Better luck next time!
