What's it worth department, shocks

[Andy]

I have three pairs of shocks. I don't know the applications. I would love an ID and a guess to worth.

The little shocks with the levers I suspect are for a late 30's early 40's Ford. They work smooth and show no sign of leaks.

The other Ford shocks are maybe early 40's Ford? One moves fine. The other also moves fine but not as far.

I have no idea on the big piston shocks. They have a strong spring pulling up on the wheel . They move fine but because of the spring, I don't know if they work.

Thanks for any help!

The 5th and 6th pictures look like Delco replacement shocks. My 42 has a set on it. In the first two pictures is there a number on the arms like F 881 as an example?

I found the numbers on the levers. F 924

The top right and bottom left pictures are what I believe to be 33/34 Ford shocks. In ealry 33 they used a shock like this in both the front and the rear, later on they used these types of shocks only in the rear.

pics 3 & 4 are rear shocks for 35-36

Thanks all, Much appreciated!

Anyone able to ID the #1 and#2 pics of the shocks with arms?

[Terry,OH]

I agree with Brian regarding #3 & 4 If the first shocks in the first two photos are original and not rebuilds or later replacements then they are post 39. It was in 39 that Houdaille went to that style of seal for the main shaft.

What is the center distance between the mounting holes on #1 and #2? They look like 37-40 front shocks to me.

[Andy]

The C to C distance is 3 15/16"
I have two pars of these. I have another pair that measure 4 3/8'.

The F924 is a 1941-7 Ford car front shock absorber. I have a NOS one and it came in the Ford box.
