    Elder, 1 and 2 looks like a tow hook and 5 and 6 is a battery strap. But I might be wrong. Can not say for which car.

    3 and 4 is an emergency device for operating a failed electrical window. Quite common on 60s and 70s cars, but I would not be sure for which car it fits. I also do not know until when such devices were provided for more modern cars.

    Cheers, Bernhard

    Emergency window crank appears like the plastic replacements produced for display/show purposes only and if plastic, not useable/useful for intended purpose. OEM cranks hanldles were made of steel with brass(?) gear.

    *lol* I never saw or heard of such a (definitely non-functional) plastic show emergency window crank, that must be something especially for US concours *lol* ;) :D. Looking at the photo I though some funny guy had showered it with black paint, good to know for "you see what you get" descriptions (which generally make me sceptical) ... :D

    Cheers, Bernhard

    It is a Ferrari part that came with many cars. Not intended for daily use.

    I know the metal ones only (quite common for various 70s period cars) and seriously doubt that such a plastic part would work even once without breaking due to the forces required.

    The jack extension is for the later 308s or 328, as the early 308 Series had the thumbwheel on the shaft. For use with a yellow jack.

    Later, black jacks, the thumbwheel rode on the hex of the jack itself.

    Agreed --- not Ferrari.

    Not quite sure, but this might be for some Mercedes --- this looks like it might be a MB star ?

    Don't know what a Mercedes tow hook looks like. Ours always breaks down at home.

    Window crank looks similar if not the same as the one original to the 246GT and GTS. I would assume it also may have been offered on other cars of the same era. The 246GT had a cap over an access hole to insert the crank, should the window motor fail. Not for cars with a manual crank window, which I think the 206GT had. Also used in Alfas of the same era.

    I don't know anyone who ever used it, but betcha if you re-post in the Dino section you'll get a 100% correct answer.

    The first picture, below, is of a tow eye from my brand new 2016 Mercedes GLA250; note the Mercedes star and the number near it.

    The emergency window crank is from a Ferrari 365GT 2+2. See: Emergency Window Crank

    The second photo is of a complete, correct tool kit from a 1967 Ferrari 330GT 2+2; note the extension along the right edge, in the middle of the picture. The 330 extension is very similar to Elder’s, just a bit shorter.

    The third photo is of my 430 battery installation. The strap is similar, but not identical, to Elder’s

    The window crank, I believe, was also supplied for the Daytona as well. The Daytona had a hole in the door card covered with a removable button for insertion of the tool in the event of window motor failure.
