Hmm ... for 2326 -- did the Model T have a speedometer? If not, the airflow could lift the flap proportional to the speed, so you could get a rough idea of speed from it.
As for 2327 -- that explains the remains of red paint visible on it.
Enjoy, DoN.
Perhaps we can just call it a catch-all, and leave it at that. The two "cups" to the right suggest an insert I've seen in a Craftsman magazine plan for a "Mans Dressing Chest."
To quote the text (which doesn't match the illustration...), "The small upper drawer at the right, (sic) is fitted, like a change-drawer, with six saucer-like divisions for shirt, collar, and sleeve buttons, and other small objects which are easily lost."
Why, this would be like one o' them weather ropes: if it's wet, it's raining... if it's standing straight out parallel to the ground, the wind's blowing...
With this metal thingie, if that flap is parallel to the ground, you know you're driving that Model T way too damn fast!
Oops. Didn't look at the larger image and see the large holes were hemispheres. I was thinking of Higgins drawing ink by the way. I swear the glass bottles were bigger than the Plastic ones on Amazon but I was around 5 when I started using them so maybe they just looked big. Karl
Bottle opener. Well, that's what I'd use it for.
