I lost an Uncle about a year ago, He was always into cars. When I helped clean out part of my Uncles estate, I ended up with boxes and totes full of small parts, and a bunch of large parts. He was into 1920's-1930's Ford, Packard, some Cadillac, and others. Interior trim pieces, nice br*** pieces, Convertible wood folding bows for 31 Packard (I think) and and a few others. Springs, axles, Wooden spoke wheels, Just alot of stuff. Just would like someone to say " it's all ****", or " those are nice, or rare", or point out any high values items that I don't know about. If you see something you like, make a fair offer. like I said, just a heads up on what I have, and what a fair offer would be is what I am looking for. I've gotten alot of good advice from this great group of guys and could just use a little more. Thanks in advance.
Third picture down is model A brake parts. T u-joint. Model a hub. Model A throw out bearing and carrier and the snout it rides on. Last picture is model A steering arms and tie rods. Also that oil fill that is cut and angled is probably for a flathead v8 in a model A. Sent from my SM-G900T using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
The Oval thing in the second picture is model a bumper part Sent from my SM-G900T using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
I don't know what one looks like or what the value is but if you come across the convertible top ***y for a t roadster I'd be interested.
Nice mix of Br*** Era to 20's parts. Might be worth posting on the AACA site as well, to get some answers
The convertible top bows in the first picture have a tag that says "Bates-osborne mfg. co Marshalltown Iowa" Does that give any hints to what it fits? Or is that just a guy who might have made them for whoever might need one?
Grew up in Marshalltown area in 50's &60's. Never heard of Bates-osborne mfg. Sorry can't help on that one.
Looks like it was Gates-Osbourne. Found Popular Mechanics 1911 and Motor 1910 both had an ad for them. Thought that was kinda cool.
