Have looked at all the information I can find on speedos but still cannot find an exact ID.
Can someone point me in the right direction please.

I have 2 of these, one black face and one white face. I have been told these are 1913-1914. Also been told they are not metal junk and are not rebuildable. Pot metal gears no replacements and if you have one that still works by spinning the input shaft and it still turns if you install it on your t, it will soon self explode internally.
just sayin,

The 1913 Stewart speedos were thinner, front to back, than previous all brass ones and later steel cased ones.

Looking in Russ Furstnow's book on page78 the Stewart model 121 Ford Special speedo looks like a match to me.

Now find the correct speedometer cable! They are very hard to find, and only used for that one year for all Ford specials.

It looks like a very late 14-15 Ford Special to me. They were not even used all the way through 1915. Russ's book has all the details.
