    I've been trying to identify this Jarvis #959 radiator cap, and I'm coming up empty. It has a Patent Pending #1683083. It's 3 3/16" wide and 7/8" tall at the fin. It's heavy...weighs about a pound...anyone know a website that identifies these old things?

    I saw that, but it's not a 1932 Ford cap...he also had a 1932 Chrysler, Dodge, Plymouth cap for sale that had those exact same three pictures in that auction!

    I did not look at the link, but I will say it is right around 29 or 30 Mopar. Late-year 29 DeSoto Model K had a single fin like that, but I don't recall those extra detail lines...but it's been a long time since i had one. Early 29 DeSoto Model K did not have the tailfin like the later 29 did. See if you can find one online.
