...But I did get a photo of the ornament/antenna I saw in the Nethercutt. Mal (Ozstatman), the top part appears to be cut off. But when I look at it, I understand even less these eternal cormorant/pelican/swan discussions. Even in the land of opportunity, swans don't wear horizontally striped sweaters.

...we had been up for over 36hrs so we were wiped out... 36 hours is a long time. Your sleep will then have been very deep and restful. The museum I like. The exhibits are not enclosed in sterile glass coffins. The proportion of European small cars is remarkably large. Among them I also recognize several vehicles from the 1950s and 1960s in Germany that are powered by two-stroke engines. People were much slimmer than they are today. Thank you very much for the photos.

Mel (‘29 633 Mel), the shape of the distributor cap in the upper area gave me no peace and I continued searching. The cap is divided, the upper area can be removed separately.
Now I realize that you, Marty & Gary probably already knew this and were only talking about the little lid that forms the top outer finish. image source: 2040-parts.com Attach file: distri 5.jpg (77.49 KB)

...Since no one has replied, I'm guessing there is no great answer. The two should just come apart... Mel (‘29 633 Mel), I'm afraid Marty is right. Attached you will find three preview images of the lower sealing surface. All of them are TEU 10868. Quote: ...I would twist it first... Gary (GaryinSC), I feel the same temptation. But shoot a glance at image 4, please.

This trailer was once a vital component of General Custer's wagon fort. Mal (Ozstatman) knew about it and that was the reason why he posted this thread in the General forum. The lights of the trailer were deliberately turned off; that was part of the plan. I believe that the tire burst is due to another cause. Have you ever checked them for traces of arrowheads?

Dave (flackmaster), I didn't find the reference to a prototype in the linked text until I read it a second time. Thanks, I learned something new.

Signacators?

The article -> linked here about a well-equipped 1940 Packard 120 contains the following quotes:
"Rear-only turn signal lights were a unique option in 1940." "Turn signals, in the rear only, were an extra cost option for the first time in 1940, but very few cars were so equipped." The images below show so-called signacators, manufactured at K-D Lamps Co. in Cincinnati, later marketed as -> "sho-turn" lamps, -> once offered at ebay Canada. Did Packard actually offer such equipment? images sources #1 - mycompanies.fandom.com #2, 3, 4 - sportscardigest.com Click to enlarge!

Even three years after the start of the so-called Shanghai Campaign, which led to the communist takeover of the city in May 27, 1949, receipts with the name Mark Moody in the header still went over the counter in Red China.
First the original, below an edited version to highlight the date. Attach file: original.jpg (50.85 KB) 1952-02-29.jpg (217.29 KB)
