A friend of mine has his grandfather's collection of old radiator caps from several kinds of cars. We were wondering what Studebaker this one might have been on. Does anyone know?

An old Motometer. My guess would be the twenties as well. There is bound to be an expert on these in the club who will respond with a more definitive answer here soon.Ed Sallia

After King Tut's tomb was discovered in 1922, a wave of Egyptian motifs swept the world. Appeared on buildings/signs/radiator caps and etc.
The Egyptian god Ra was used by Stutz for many years. The two goofs of American Pickers found a Stutz motometer, didn't know what it was, their 'expert' didn't either.Last edited by WinM1895; 11-20-2013, 08:15 AM.Comment

I'm curious, was it always brass (bronze or gold) colored? Richard Quinn's photo shows a chrome or nickel plated example.Comment

First car to come with chrome plating: 1924 Oldsmobile. Prior, either solid brass or nickel plating was used.Comment
