Question Anyone know what these are??

anyone Know what this is on the radiator or have any info on it?? (

(took this from another fordbarn post about the recent auction)



================================================== ===

This one is of my Great Grandfather and HIS roadster at the time. he is about 20 years old in the picture. It has one of those things on the radiator too.


PS: Notice the radiator cap... Also, notice the hub caps, positoning of side view mirror, and the fat trim on the upper radiator piece below the FORD badge. (any info on this stuff would be nice also)
