Re: Brass Radiator emblem
There were no accessories for the Model T that were offered by Ford. Any accessory could be had from any of the many aftermarket supply houses.

Re: Brass Radiator emblem
I think Ford did offer some accessories such as a manifold heater. Dealers maybe added whatever it took to deliver a car.

Re: Brass Radiator emblem
The brass Ford script was standard on the very early T's. It went straight across about the center of the radiator. Around late 1925 you could add; mirror, windshield wiper and a combination brake/tail light that was sold as an approved add-on by Ford. Of course the Ruckstell was a Ford approved accessory (except for the above the only one). Starter/generator/demountable wheels were not considered standard equipment, they were sold at extra cost. Adding anything else could void your warranty.

Re: Brass Radiator emblem
The fins on my old brass original radiator on my 13 has the "shadow" of a Ford emblem that was removed long ago . My 14 has no evidence of ever having a Ford emblem although the original owner had made his own Hometown wire emblem .

Ford did not install a brass radiator script on any cars after about December 1910. But if you want brass radiator script it just takes a few mouse clicks and a credit card to get one sent to you from one of the reproduction part sellers.
