Top Bows Needing Identification
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: Top Bows Needing Identification
Here are pictures of 1914 top irons. Looks like the bow sockets are round and not square like yours.

Frank:
the top bows appear very similar to the bows for my 1925 Dodge Bro. touring ( same as) ... probably similar to many period cars , but the ends and other fastener features appear to be the same ... my bows are in the loft of one of my storage buildings and currently have the old top fabric inplace and would be difficult to measure , but by visual inspection they appear the same ... hope this is correct information ... very hard to say for sure ...gene french

Re: Top Bows Needing Identification
Thanks to both of you. Gives me something to compare against
