Re: Period Accessory
Regarding period accessories, I find the items neat, the graphics neater, and the claims to be (usually) wildly over-stated (particularly when fuel/mileage related)!

Re: Period Accessory
That’s a neat find! The chanches of finding a NOS like this one is almost impossible.
I would bet when these were installed they didn’t stay on long or if by chance finding a used one they were pretty much used up.
Probably wasn’t a popular item. I have seen more than a few accessories over the years but thanks to the forum a rare one comes to light. Always learning something about Model T’s!

Re: Period Accessory
Nice find! Those spring oilers took many forms, but generally did a good job of keeping the leaves lubricated. I do take exception to one of the package claims though......"Takes place of the shock absorber" ??????

Re: Period Accessory
Guess the concept of shock absorber was different back then. A spring that moved and absorbed the shocks from the road was doing it's job, one that was rusted into a solid mass of unlubricated iron, not so much! 
I know the voices aren't real but damn they have some good ideas!

Re: Period Accessory
I posted a NOS set of these in the original box back in 2011 under ACCESSORY OF THE DAY.

Re: Period Accessory
Would that be the same company that made the crankshaft counter weights?

Re: Period Accessory
No. The counterweights were from Clarinda, OH. I thought the same thing.

Re: Period Accessory
I think I'll put new wicks in a set and put them on my 27 Roadster when I get it put back together.
