Can anyone identify this Rear Fender? I was thinking late 09 to10, but unsure if its even Ford.

Evening all.
I have this rear fender that I though was originally a late 09 to 1910. But the rivet pattern has me thinking it may not be Ford at all? Looks about the same size as my 1913 rears. The eye fender iron clamp and the sheet metal bracket look like Ford. A little stumped.

I added a few pics of the rivet pattern. I always thought they were "square" and not the V shaped like you see.

Looks like some original paint at one of the mounts.

Looks like the fender on my September 09 except the rivet spacing on mine is square or maybe I should say rectangular

The very early 1909's had that odd rivet layout on the fender brackets
The very early 1909 rear fenders had the brackets centered in the fender.
Later in 1909 the rear fender irons were changed, this lead to a change in the location of the brackets on the fender. Later 1909 & all 1910 rear fenders had the brackets off set closer to the inner edge of the fender.
Your fender appears to be made during the transition. It has the early brackets riveted in the later location.
Here is T #714 , it has the brackets with the odd rivet spacing like your fender but the bracket is centered on the fender

Thanks so much for that info!
Im lost on anything before 1912 and after 1915/16. My buddy found it for me at hershey and from a quick pic sent by his wife I thought, "oh! A 1913 fender! I need one of those! I'll take it!" It wasnt until I got to see it up close I thought it may be earlier. But the rivet pattern threw me off when I looked at it again yesterday, and began to doubt it was ford.

It is listed on eBay. Didn't copy the listing or number, just look for 1909 Ford Model T Fender.
