    is this Studebaker locking gas cap, or a Stant or other "S" vendor?

    Hi,
    this was sold to me years ago as a Studebaker locking gas cap. "S" shape looks wrong, and I (think?) 56Golden mentioned at one point that these caps with an "S" are actually simply the vendor (Stant?) logo.
    Verdict?
    Thanks!

      Stant’s tradition of innovation and quality began in 1898, when George Stant founded the company in Connersville, Indiana, USA. That same tradition is what continues to set Stant apart as the global leader in fuel, vapor, and thermal management design and manufacture. Today, Stant is the global leader in the design of fuel, vapor, and

        As discussed here and at their website, Stant also made castings for various cars and trucks. I was working with my trunk handle today and was reminded of this:

          bought one just like it on eBay years ago. It didn't fit my Studebaker. Definitely Stant.

            Thanks all.
            Good; if Studebaker, I'd kinda feel obligated to use it; now I don't have to hassle with a key. :-) At least the guy didn't rip me off too bad who swore it was original 1950's Studebaker at the swap meet.
