WHAT IS IT?

Do you recognize it?

If you do, you are way past retirement age.

And, you had to be a car nut as a teenager.

That is a magnet off of the flywheel of a model T Ford.

There was a series of them bolted to the flywheel which

served to make an armature for the magneto.

They were produced between Oct. 1, 1908 to

May 26, 1927.

The model T Ford went under a number of nick names

Most often called: Tin Lizzie, Leaping Lena, Jitney, 

and / or Flivver .

98 -73

The one in the image above, I do not remember where

I found it.  I just remember finding it in the dirt 

somewhere. That makes it approximately 73 to 98 

years old.  And, it still works, well some.

I am just starting into that age bracket now,

and looking just as rusty and worn out.

May God keep me going like that old magnet.
