APCO Accessory and More

[Rowdy]

I have had this stuff in boxes from an auction for quite a while. Only one is APCO, but not sure what it is for. Pattent date is Oct. 11 1921. Might be an accessory oil pan mount reinforcement. Not sure about the others pictures except to say the Bear tool is likely for later cars alignment or something else. Any help with any of these would be appriciated. Also posted on the T page. Thanks Rod

Apco was short for Auto Parts Company, who later merged
with the Mossberg Company to form Apco – Mossberg.
The part you have is indeed a crank case support arm
for the Model T’s.

Thanks. I thought I had figured that part out correctly. Interesting name on the Pattents. I wonder if Thomas was Kermit's brother. Rod
