Thank you gentlemen for your replies. I absolutely believe that's what it is.
I got to thinking what a kind soul that Model T owner is. Since T's never break down, he/she carries this accessory to help out their stranded buddies who drive Dodges, Chevs, etc..

Perhaps the odd T does break down, and it's a Canadian one to boot, eh!
It's probably from the added weight of those fancy top holder down thingies.

I remember smudge pots as a kid. Always thought they were so neat. I managed to "acquire" one once much to my mother's chagrin!
And look at the muscle on that lady's calf!! Wow. Don't think I woulda wanted to tangle with her. :lol:
