I saw one of these today...

I saw it change hands for 30 bucks! No keys, though. This is the only picture I could find on the interwebs, but it's a 1914 Model T anti-theft device!

It says on the tag that it is for anti-theft, calls it an 'alarm' and the manufacture offers a big reward if someone steals your Model T while it's in place!

Edit: I found this on Ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Antique-Security-Auto-Theft-Signal-System-Model-T-Ford-Model-D1-Tire-Boot-Lock-/290827861002

no picture, but the description is identical to what I saw.
