You never know what will show up at a house auction. This stuff is still around.

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.

Neat find.
I love to find bits like that.
I'll bet a bunch of those pieces are NOS.

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 ?

Looks like there is part of a starter drive in there too.

Well spotted George. The button piece is there too.

Allan from down under.

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

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?

It may be an attempt to be a reproduction of a 1915-16 horn button

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

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.
