Pretty sure the first four are mounting brackets for after-market headlamps. Probably for drum style lamps as that was what I saw on some very similar brackets. A truss rod crosses in front of the radiator to reduce vibration and maybe mount the license plate. Brackets and headlamps had a dished mating area with some slop in the bolt hole to loosen the bolt and swivel the lamp for proper aim adjustment, then tighten the bolt. Nice items. Hard to find the brackets, and a lot of lamps from other cars used similar dished adjustments and could be used on a model T.

Third post photos are of tail lamp bracket. A lot of tail lamps, both factory and after-market, had the socket going straight out the back, with two mounting bolts, one on each side of the socket.

Second post? Got me.

The bracket marked 81Y 13471 is a Ford part and according to the number is a left rear lamp bracket for a 1938 Models 81C, 81Y and 83 L.H.D. 81C is Commercial Chassis, 81Y is 122"WB Truck. Can't find any reference to what the 83 is. Info is from my 1928-38 Ford Parts book. Do any of the other parts have obvious Ford part numbers?

The top bracket should have a number on it. While that will not help find what the iron came off, it would help someone that needed a saddle. Some came in left/rights others could be used on ether side.
I know the voices aren't real but damn they have some good ideas! :shock:

I would imagine that you only have the one of those top saddles? Pairs are better to sell, as they made so many (hundreds!) of variations and finding two separate ones that match can be very difficult. I think this one is for a roadster. Most touring car saddles were longer/larger/taller (however you want to look at it?). To add to what Mark G said, It looks to me like this one doesn't have specific 'rights' and 'lefts'. Usually those had a forward or backward offset, and I don't see that in this one.

The top saddle does have a number, hard to read
it is either A17 or 417, Bob
