The stamping is what I question(ed) too. Just seems out of place. It's small: 2.75" x 1.5".

I probably should ask on the 'T' forum (also), but any ideas on this piece? Could just be a replica/fabrication of some sort.

@Jeff/Illinois: Removing tongue-from-cheek, I wonder where someone from Germany/Europe would go for vintage auto interior materials? Assuming it would be the U.S. market, but could be a wrong assumption. It's a worldwide marketplace after all.

Thank you. It didn't look quite right. Bruce

Thanks Dan, I appreciate that. B

Is this an A-13776(A-C) dome lamp by chance? The bezel doesn't look right comparing it to the RG&J Standards depiction.

Loooking at the problem from a slightly different angle, I wish there was a way to part-time mentor someone on the restoration skills or occupations soon to be needed such as upholstery and many other specialized skills pertinent to antique auto restoration. Personally speaking, I cannot leave...

"The covers have a felt reservoir that needs saturation with a high viscosity oil such as 75W145 gear oil". I had no idea oil was involved in/with those covers. Much appreciated Bob Bruce

Re: Do you own a 1930 Standard three window Fordor Sedan. I have an early '31 (non-slant) standard fordor. Lived in Iowa most of it's life (Ca now), and no rust in the lower cowls. Either luck or good maintenance back in the day.

I hear very good things (all the way from CA) about Swiss Plating in Troy, MI. 248/830.6066 Zach. For strictly chrome, Auto & Truck Bumpers, Inc in Hayward, CA seems to have a good reputation as well. 510/881.1886 David Gaitan.

I had an excellent experience with Tyree Harris (also) and was happy I gave him a call. He also custom-made a length I was missing as well.

Athern diecast #90731 black Model A Sport Coupe. Unopened, new in-package. 1:50 scale. $6.00 shipping. Note: also have a Burgundy Model A Sport Coupe (#90732), same scale, company, condition, etc.

Jim Diehl (Cadillac, MI) did mine in February of '21. I was very happy with his work, knowledge, professionalism, etc. Highly recommended.

"Geez Louise" My vote for the most (and best)diplomatic, non passive aggressive reply. Thanks for that one. And you're right Oldbluoval, some days are better than others for some (or all of us). Best not to take comments too personally. ....Still very grateful for the/this site though.
