There's a guy from ohio who's always at Hershey. He does them really nice for the Model A crowd. I'll see if I can find his name. He does the butler CHROME but I don't know if that's what you need for a '35.

The 1935-36 Book, pg 40 states the hand brake was nickle plated. The hand-grip and button were bright and the shaft was satin...

hope this helps

I know that '32 is the same as Model A, and it's possible that '33 and '34 are as well. The Riker gentleman listed (if he is the one I'm thinking of) carries the Model A handles in stock. He buys as many as he can find at Hershey every year, takes them home with him and replates them to sell the next year. Beautiful work.
