Re: auction finds today
Wow! That’s neat and these days the cigar box is a collectors item for some people.
I’ll bet the auction folks didn’t know exactly what the T parts were or if they were T parts.

Re: auction finds today
Neat find.
I love to find bits like that.
I'll bet a bunch of those pieces are NOS.

Re: auction finds today
Good grief you struck it rich ! 
Congratulations !
Would you be interested in selling the horn connection with the curved copper piece on the left side of the cigar box ?

Re: auction finds today
I'm not seeing any starter drive pieces - that is a hood shelf wiring bushing ? Appears mostly electrical pieces - nice score !

Re: auction finds today
Here is the contents of the cigar box. No starter Bendix parts. Most of these are single wire connectors. The majority appear to be NOS. I have got a lot of NOS parts from this man. Anyone recognize this horn button?

Re: auction finds today
It may be an attempt to be a reproduction of a 1915-16 horn button

The past is a great place and I don't want to erase it or to regret it, but I don't want to be its prisoner either.

Re: auction finds today
Its a period horn button, non T.
I have a very similar one mounted on my 14 by the seat for a mag horn.

Re: auction finds today
What wonderful color the black Bakelite or plastic has. Hues of blue, green and brown subtly show.
Maxwell and others I'm sure used that, or a similar horn button mounted where they pleased.
What a nice find.
