They look like the top sockets on my 1912 Flanders 20 Runabout, but yours are several inches longer than mine, maybe yours are for an EMF or other large Runabout, like a Buick or Cadillac?

Was told years ago they were for 09/10 T Runabout. If I am remembering right. That was years ago. Still have newspapers from Sacramento Ca protecting them. Dan

Might try asking for help IDing a set of top sockets instead of irons. ;)
You could also try AACA what is it section. https://forums.aaca.org/forum/66-what-is-it/
If they are non Ford might have a better chance.
I know the voices aren't real but damn they have some good ideas! :shock:

These were wrapped in newspaper The Sacramento Bee dated Dec 5, 1994. Older reproduction sockets. Any idea by who? Thanks Dan.

If they are old repros, they were probably made by Ron Brown in the Auburn/ Nevada City/Grass Valley area. John took over Ron's top bow business, you might call him for info:
John Boorinakis
545 Dairy Road
Auburn, CA 95603
Phone 530-885-4956
Fax 530-887-0863.

(John is listed in the parts supplier section of the MTFCA web site.)

Take a look at some Ford N/R/S runabout pics on the Early Ford Registry, looks like they ran sockets similar to what you have. :)

They resemble those on this T at the New York show in December 1908.
The number one socket (would be your 23") is in place and not visible but
you can see where it goes to drop the top.

It may quite similar. However, some details are not.
