Gb Graham Brothers 1920s? Hub Cap Grease Cap Dust Cover Wheel Center on 2040-parts.com
Juliustown, New Jersey, US
Here is a Graham Brothers wheel/axle cover.
It was found in the ground in our yard in NJ. According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graham-Paige,
this item could be from 1920’s (possibly 1922?). After successful involvement in a
glass manufacturing company (eventually sold to Libbey
Owens Ford) brothers Joseph B. Graham (September 12, 1882–July 1970),
Robert C. Graham (August 1885–October 3, 1967) and Ray A. Graham (May 28,
1887–August 13, 1932) began in 1919 to produce kits to modify Ford Model Ts
and TTs
into trucks. That led to the brothers building their trucks using engines of
various manufacturers and the Graham Brothers brand. Eventually they
settled on Dodge
engines, and soon the trucks were sold by Dodge dealers. The Grahams expanded
from beginnings in Evansville, Indiana, opening plants in 1922 on
Meldrum Avenue in Detroit, Michigan of 13,000 square feet (1,200 m2),
and in 1925 in Stockton, California. The Canadian market was
supplied by the Canadian Dodge plant. Dodge purchased the Graham Brothers truck
firm in 1925, and the three Graham brothers took on executive positions at
Dodge. The Graham Brothers brand lasted
until 1929; Chrysler Corporation having taken over Dodge
in 1928. I saw another listing with the GB
logo but also with DETROIT written on it. So, this one is one made early on. So
I am thinking this was part of the “kits” for model T’s they made early on or
when they opened their plant in 1922 under their own brand. If you have any information or questions,
please email me. I do not know anything more than what I have written. Thanks for looking.

2012 Mercedes A-Class: The Concept-A Videos
Sat, 09 Apr 2011Mercedes Concept-A Video We had the first proper details on the Mercedes Concept-A earlier this week, which points the way – as a slightly tamed-down version – to the 2012 Mercedes A-Class. That Mercedes A Class will not just arrive as a hatch but will – in cojunction with the new Mercedes B-Class that will also utilise Mercedes new MFA platform – spawn models as diverse as a shooting brake, crossover, coupe and cabriolet. It seems – with all the derivatives that appear to be planned – that Mercedes are looking to out-MINI MINI in the variations on a theme game.
Kitten hitch-hiker
Fri, 18 Jul 2014COUNCIL STAFF staff are appealing for the owners of a black kitten to come forward - after it hitched a lift on one of their vans. The kitten was found cowering under the wheel-arch of the vehicle by horticultural workers at South Somerset District Council. It is believed to have boarded the van at the authority's Lufton Depot in Yeovil and clung on until arriving in Bruton - around 20 miles away.
