Another Model T part I think

I went down to the river bank today and found another part to a Model T.
I think it is an ignition switch plate.
Am I right?

This would be the 4th Model T part I found detecting.

After seeing the Mag print for magneto to start, I believe your spot on. Nice find.

No, not for a model T. Might be to an old car, but not a T.

Awesome find, whatever it might be

Nice find!

I do not believe its for a Model T (tractor?).

No, not for a model T. Might be to an old car, but not a T.

Yes I see that J&B MFG Co is referenced in a 1920 Chilton's manual. They manufactured many parts for autos and tractors. I have found in this area this plate, 2 tire valve covers, and a 1920s AAA Club plate. I am thinking it may have been from the same car. It is like guessing what a picture is on a 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle with just 4 pieces. Hopefully I will find more here.

"MIC DROP" Great information. That is it.

Where were these located on the vehicles?

I guess this is how they mounted these types of coil boxes.
