Stephen Allen says that he doesn't have them. I informed my friend who bought my 1927 Dictator Victoria when you discovered the source. When he checked he was told that they were unavailable. If this has changed in the last several months I'm sure that my friend would like to know.

I'm the guy at Stephen Allen's that answered your friends email. He sent pictures and I tried to find a match without any luck. We have a box of unidentified handles, mostly prewar, but none that matched the ones on your friend's '27.

Thanks Mat, and thanks for looking. These things seem to be much harder to come by then I would have expected.-Bill

It could be useful, with requests like this one, to post pictures of the item. Not only pics of only one view, but the mounting side as well. There are many of us with unidentified parts. A picture could remind someone about that part they've stumbled over many times while looking for something else. Showing the mechanical mounting part, could inspire others to suggest a clever fix for what is causing the part to be no longer useful.

You never know who is the talented person (thinking "out of the box") that could offer the perfect solution to a problem that has most others stumped.

It would be good to check with the Antique Studebaker Club. Also AACA Forum can be a great resource. There are "generalists" there as well as Studebaker specialists there.
