Rumble/Trunk Lid handles

[Roadster62]

Just how many different types were there in the Model A Ford production 1928-31? There is a T handle on eBay that got me thinking about these differances.

The T handle on eBay is for early model A's - 1928 and maybe some early 1929's. The common handle (L shaped), I believe, was use from the end of 1928 through the end of production. The reason the T handles cost so much is they are fairly rare.

Were the T handles used for both rumble and trunk lids? I just like the look and would like one for my Roadster.

As far as I know they were used for both a rumble and a trunk.

Heres one example of a rare handle
this one was only used on the 31 Cabriolets
there was one made for the 29s,out of plated Brass,and a stainless one used for the 30 cabriolets,but this one with the removeable lock cylinder was only used from about Jan 31 to the end of production

I had one of those Cabriolet handles years ago, sold it to Ed Wright for $20.00, the complete car cost me $25.00. Those were the good old days.
