I find two patents for this, but cant make any sense of what is does.

Do I just have a portion of the original item ?

think of a touring car and the fold down top, that would be added to the body and keep it from bouncing around or rattling about in the down position. Some had a leather belt also.

More than you probably want to know about fold down tops: http://books.google.com/books?id=oqU7AAAAMAAJ&pg=PA196
Just a weathered light rust/WD40 mix patina.
