Default Head identity

For the 3rd time since January I have returned home and found a
flathead part leaning against my garage door.

The latest item is a cyl. head - M121 EAB .
Can someone identify it ???

thanks

Certainly. What you have discovered is a much sought after Early Ford Doorstop, designed specifically to keep garage doors in check during the windy days and nights of winter. The unusual thing about this is that you have only 3 heads. If I were you, I’d hang loose till you find the missing 4th head that will make up two complete sets.

Thanks Alan, but the first two were a carb and a license plate bracket.
I have been trying to downsize for the past year, apparently someone
else in the area is also.

When I see the title of this thread come up it makes me think of my father, who in all his infinite wisdom liked to say, "Anybody that goes to see a physciatrist oughta have his head examined".
