What are these?

[Tudortomnz]

These came off my '29 Tudor many years ago. They may have been on a corner edge of the front compartment kick panels. That said, I have never come across any reference to them in the Ford Parts List or seen them on photos of original cowl panels. They are channelled brass, with remains of black paint.
Does anyone have more information on them.?
Thanks
Tom

Looks like the channel that holds the bottom of the kick or cowl panel in place. They should be tack welded in place and painted body color. I could be wrong....

My kids have something on the corners of their school bags.
