Jim
They appear to be for late date.
I am looking for earlier, 1915 to 1909 I think which were used with
brass era radiator.
Also I am not that far away from you.

Thank you .

John

In the "For whatever it is worth" department? And - - - shhhhh, don't tell anyone?
The brass era outlets to the radiator have been hit and miss for many years. Reproductions have been made and sold in significant numbers. The original brass era necks were cast iron, a bit short, a bit thin, and often rusted away to too short to be usable. A lot of the reproductions have been cast in brass to avoid the trouble with rusting away.

These necks seem to be available at some times, and at other times they just don't seem to be available at all.
So, what I did a few years back. I was putting together two engines for a couple of my brass era T projects. I had one, a NOS original era APCO replacement neck that had never been installed. Other than the APCO name being cast onto the base, and a slight variation in the bolt holes intended to make installation easier, the size, shape, and fit of the APCO one was identical to a Ford original.
That was all well and good. However, it was the only one I had, and my attempts at that time to acquire another one for the second engine found nothing. But I had a small box with several common later model T Ford upper radiator necks.
Using the APCO as my guide, I carefully found the right spot, drew lines, and cut a pie wedge shaped piece out of the bend. I positioned the cutout to leave a natural looking bend between the base and the neck, and shortened the remaining neck to fit the short reach required in the brass era Ts. I ground a wide "V" where the pieces needed to be joined, and brazed them together, adding some additional coverage on the inside (easy to do as it was right near the base opening) for added strength.
Filed roughly (not supposed to be a fine finish), installed, and painted? Can't tell it from an original brass era neck.

Just a suggestion.

Getting it just right, it would help if you can borrow an original one from someone to compare with.
