I just love finding nos parts.

Yes Don, it's kind of like Christmas all over again, isn't it?
There is a certain soft color and charm to those things time has graced them with.
Thanks for the peek.

Hey Don, want to sell those nickel plated headlamp rims? I have a 26 that could use them if you don't have a need for them.

Yes occasionally NOS T parts can still be found! The reason is Ford made so many of them!
The downside is because he made so many T’s a lot of good parts and tools have been thrown to the scrappers! From the 30’s to the 70’s -80’s lots were found and lots were thrown away
because they were common.

Look at the nice sharp crown on the fan hub. I’ve seen them rounded or flat usually from wear. Now I know what shape to turn them back to on a lathe.

Judging by the original paint on that fan all I have ever seen are over restored.

If we could see a T as it came off the line in the 20’s the perfectionist folks who are among us wouldn’t like it!

Very true. A local parts vendor found some "new-old" stock wiring harnesses for Model As. Nobody would buy them because they weren't as bright and pretty as the reproduction ones.
That's the way it was.

That’s true.
Going from the pictures that survived over time of new T’s in the T era. They were were nice and looked great. BUT not to the point of the bodies looking like molded black hard plastic like some look like today. Just the way it is and to each their own.

I forgot to put the picture of the lenses inside the boxes.
The small red lenses are the celluloid red lenses that go in the tea cup taillights, must be thirty of them.

@6-7 standard tail light?
If so, note the deeper red than the repops.

Yes for the 26-27’s

Nice find Don. I don't see NOS stuff like I use to many years ago. The last ones I came across at an estate sale was a couple of NOS 26-7 generators thrown in a small pile of misc "electric motors" for $5 each. Makes the trip worthwhile doesn't it?
