My uncle died a couple of years ago and we are still clearing up his stuff. He went through the Depression and so was an accumulater but probably not considered a collector. Before he died he told me had some parts from a 1926 Rolls Royce and I think I have found them but I need some help in exactly what they are (and perhaps if they are worth anything) or perhaps point me to where I might be able to get some more info. Please see the pictures.

The big and small lights are marked CAV

The "tank" is marked AutoVAC

The Horn is marked Lucas King of the Road and has a mark of a rampant lion

There is a black box marked CAV

and a chain that looks like a big bike chain but I don't believe is metal.

Any help or info is very much appreciated.

Hmmm.... I am not sure if I will be able to attach photos. We'll see.

Interesting assortment - the Autovac is the tank used in a gravity fuel system, the CAV lamps are from the 1920's and could have been fitted to a variety of cars, quite possibly including R-R.
