Running Board Luggage holders

I was at a local junk shop yesterday, and saw a pair of the clamp-on expanding scissor type running board luggage/cargo holders.
Just wondering...did Ford ever make them, or were they an aftermarket accessory?
Also, what might a pair of them in decent shape be worth?
These needed some T.L.C., and wire-brushing and paint, but they were basically intact, and still expanded and folded up quite easily.
 
I paid $20 for a decent set that would need paint to a lot of people, but suited my car just fine. I've seen them being sold for $40 in really nice shape and I thought it was a good deal.
 
had 1 at Hershey 3 years ago [ nos] mint ! $15.00 was my price.... they are now somewhere near the woods..... and misfit parts..
 
No, FORD did not make them. However, about every Tom, Dick and Harry outside vendor DID make them. They were found in a wide array of styles, shapes and configurations. I have about 5 or 6 of them, each one different from the other. The last time I saw them at swap-meets, they were selling for around $10 for 'rough shape', $20 for 'good shape', and $30 for "excellent" shape. They are really quite common, as a great many of them were sold in the twenty's and early thirties, because they were a really handy accessory to increase the limited hauling space on an old car.
