Early open ended rear bumpers

[oldflathead]

I have a nice set of open ended rear bumpers. Can anyone give me an idea of what they are worth?

Thanks

Is the plating good or do they need to be replated?

Are they real or repro. I've seen repro's. The market is very limited because so few A's actually had them.

How 'bout a picture?

what are they off from? like tom says, presumably the first 200 cars...originally....

Late Model T's had them. There is a length difference between the T and A open -ended bumpers.

The very early 28 open end rear bumpers are remarkably differnet from the common '28 style. The mounting end is a triangle shape, not a rectangle piece riveted to the bumper bars.

Guess open end bumpers will be OPEN to offers....

The Model A open bumpers were 63 1/2 inches compared to the 60 inch T ones.

Canadian T's also had a split-rear bumper option that looks similar to the later A's but with open ends. Do you have two long pieces or four short ones?
