[Tigers] Some Help Needed with Original Items and configuration

[Will Seay]

More vent-hose pictures (attached)
Some years ago I ran across an Ebay listing for a Sunbeam Tiger part.  The
pictures attached are from the listing.  The seller didn't know what it
was, but he described the hose as having a nick in it.  The hose was
incomplete, having only 5 caps.  The 'nick' was where the 6th cap should
attach.  I messaged the seller and asked him if he had the 6th cap.
Seller's response was to remove the listing.  I never saw the listing
again.  I would have bought it, incomplete or not.
