Pretty sure it's not Bosch.

I have one on my coupe, maybe an early Bosch plate without the thrust button? Works with the Bosch gears.

Nope- Andy gets no cigar this time.......... The plate is Atwater Kent. Gears are available from the vendors. There are two styles of AK plates in addition to the more common clip on variety. Note this one has a lower support above where the gear mounts. The other style has no lower support more like Bosch, BUT, Bosch gears will not work with either style. Center distance is totally different.

My bubble is burst. I guess that’s what happens when you assume.

This is identical to the Factory advertisement in the July 1921 issue of Ford Owner and Dealer, see page 26. . It is a type CA , which had automatic advance. -Dusty
