and....what is this one?

[Marc Montgomery]

This was found in a box of old military parts... no idea what it might be
it has a small brass scale on it... a little light which must indicate some action or position,
the protruding portions of the "pin" are knurled and the pin itself is flattened in the middle
and looks like there was a C or D cell type battery in it !!!

its very solidly built, and heavy (!) about 8 inches roughly top to bottom

any ideas?

A crime is what it is!!!
The elusive Ford flathead timing fixture used on distributors for every Ford CMP, carrier etc. Made by Wasco.
I am lucky enough to have 2 NOS ones in my collection, recently aquired after many years searching.
If you want to part with it Marc let me know.

[Marc Montgomery]

well that was fast ! sure I'll part with it...surplus to needs

[charlie fitton]

I'd be whining if I didn't have one already.

[Lynn Eades]

Marc, it will clean up to be a nice useful timing tool.

[Marc Montgomery]

actualy i noticed there were still vestiges of the original decal.
Anyone interested, I cant see that I will ever need it.. I can deliver to Kingston, Picton next weekend.

BTW still have some NOS 1/4t trailer covers.

[Marc Montgomery]

Can deliver, this item, or NOS 1/4 t trailer covers, or the v/g condition 750kg SMP Cdn1 trailer ...to Gan this coming week if interested

[charlie fitton]

What's it worth sir?

and can you send it this way with someone from near here? (Kitchener)

[Marc Montgomery]

perhaps we can have some comments on a fair price,?
Would be a killer (cost) to mail...Unless bus parcel?? never tried that...any thoughts

Gananoque on the 23-25 July,, or I'll be going to Niagara Falls around 8th Aug..could meet in hamilton.

OK

Let the masses speak - till I won't listen. Someone I know must be going to Gannonoque. Or another plan.

[chris vickery]

If memory serves, I purchased 2 NOS ones last year for $150 each

[Marc Montgomery]

Thanks Chris .Well, given the condition of mine, I think we can safely say, the price would be substantially (!) less..
The question would be how to get it to London.. what are bus parcel prices like?
As mentioned Ill be travelling through Hamilton in early Aug.
Or if someone knows a buddy in Niagara Falls, it could be left there for later pickup

[Marc Montgomery]

Charlie, and others, I will bring this item, along with a few other bits and bobs to the Odessa (Ont) bivouc. including repros of wartime posters, NOS trailer covers (only a couple left @100$, a couple of the brass fire extinguishers and some other small items.
