Context

Country: Unknown
State/Province: Unknown
Period: Unknown
Canada: (From worksheet, see Ref. 1) This type of vehicle accessory was a commonly used attachment in the 1920s and 1930s in Canada.
Function: (From worksheet, see Ref. 1) This device was intended to be attached to the running board of a Ford Model A or a Ford Model T in order to secure and transport luggage, packages, tool boxes, etc.
Technical: (From worksheet, see Ref. 1) Prior to the late 1930s, storage spaces, for things like luggage or cargo, were not an integrated part of the vehicle. Instead, attachments were added to the running boards or the rear of the vehicle in order to make temporary space for pieces that would not otherwise fit inside the vehicle, alongside passengers. Steel was a popular material choice for this type of technology, as it is durable and robust enough to secure items in place and withstand significant wear due to weather and road conditions.
