Open car top clamp and thumb screw

I bought some model A parts on eBay recently and also got some parts that I believe are for a model T. I am not knowledgeable about model T, so I was hoping someone here could identify the parts as to what years they are used on and if the thumb screws are correct. I am attaching a couple picture of the bracket/thumb screws. The brackets look identical, however, is there a right and a left? I would like to sell them to someone that can use them. I am quite sure they are original Ford parts. Any help would be appreciated.

They are indeed top clamps. The fit over the windshield stantions. The wing nuts are not original. I believe they can be used on either side.
 
those may also for other makes because they were common to many tops. the wing-bolts are probably correct for those.
 
No, those would not work for your '18 - it would have footman loops & straps going to the w.s. hinges.
 
Those were used on the one-man tops 1923-27. if you know what you want for them,reasonably priced,I would buy them.
 
Jack,
I sent you a PM about the brackets. I posted my email address to respond if you are still interested.
