Unknown inside door handle

[wrndln]

I got this door handle with some model A parts a while back. I don't believe it is a model A handle. It looks like an original part and I think it could be restored. Can anyone identify what it fits (Ford???)? Maybe I should also post it on the early V8 board. I am pasting in three picture of it below.

Hi, Looks like 33/34 Plymouth. Jim

I was thinking early 40's dodge Plymouth

That looks like the handle that fits the 30-31 cabriolet, slant window sedans, and victoria.

Thanks to those that responded. It looks like it may fit 3 different cars! I will probably just toss it, but I was hoping someone could use it as it looks like it could be restored.

Never toss usable car parts. Someone might be looking for that very knob.

Tom,
That would be great to save it, but trying to find a person that could use it will probably never happen. Do you want it?

Hey Rusty please don't talk trash. That's a nice looking original old part...it's on a journey and needs you to help it along,
don't step on it like a bug.

...options that come to mind in no particular order.
1) ID it and put on ebay.
2) or Craigslist
3) start a swap meet collection.
4) donate it to someone at a swap meet...or drop off at a local second hand store. An antique store would sell this under their counter for 5 or 8 bucks.
5) make it a unique handle on something in your shop...or for a water faucet.
6) screw it on the wall for a stylin coathook!
7) give it to a youngster you meet in your travels...maybe it'll spark an interest towards a lifelong love of antique cars, you never know.
8) find all the other missing parts

If it fits on a shaft its worth keeping. The window crank handle on my coupe is broke, came that way when I got the car. Right now I have a handle from either a early 50's Plymouth or a Willys on it and it fits and works better then the broken handle until I replace it.

No worries, Dan Partain has a friend that has a Plymouth that he thinks it might fit, so off to CA for the handle. Hope it fits on his friends car.

I agree, the most logical and rational option is to build a car around it.

Thanks for the donation Rusty! It's going to an original '34 Plymouth coupe.
