46 grill guard revisited

Factory accessory. Listed in the 1938-1946 Jan issue of Ford Mercury illustrated parts catalog as 21A18412 used on 42-46 Fords models 21A super Deluxe & 69A & 6 GA Super Deluxe.
Also listed in the accessories section of Fords 46,47,48 in the "CLOSING the YEARS of TRADITION" book.
 
In a previous thread about this subject the question was asked if the Ford script on on this grill guard. There were a lot of "no's".
I too have the "Closing the years of tradition" book and cannot find the grill guard. I see listed as accessories "Radio,heater, seat covers,spotlight,Road lamps, back up light,engine compartment lamp, utility lamp, license plate frame,electric clock, side view mirror,vanity mirror,cigarette lighter,dyna-matic fan, battery corrosion arrestor,windshield washer, vacuum storage tank, fuel tank lid lock, automatic read door safety locks, gas cap lock, hand brake signal, brake booster, tire and fire unit, tire pump, insect screen, winter front, and bumper end guards.
That is a lot of accessories and most of them I hardly see.
 
I was not listed in the 1950 parts catalog , but I found that it did go obsolete as of July 1953. Ford never kept accessories very long in cataloging, especially if they did not sell very well. Still happens today for accessories.
