Mystery Door Handle
 

I found this in my Ford stuff today. I don't remember where I got it but, as you can see, I'm sure that I got it, at least for the V8.

Any Ideas what it's off of?

Looks like the rumble seat handle on my 37.

It is an aftermarket die cast (reproduction) of a '37 decklid handle. Originals were stainless steel clad over a steel base.

Thank you, everyone. Yes, it is a repro, a magnet won't stick to it.

Is it worth $10?

A magnet won't stick to stainless steel....

Re: Mystery Door Handle
 

True, a magnet may not stick to some grades of stainless steel but it will also not stick to cast pot metal which the handle is most likely made of.

Worth $10.IMO No.Toss it


The orig looks like this.

If the above is true, and it's plated steel, a magnet would stick to it. A magnet does stick to the shank and flange.

I have an original handle like that on my 30 Ford coupe, have always known it was the wrong year for it. It was on the car when I bought it back in 1957.

...back in the day, I found lots of the NOS 37 handles w/keys in old Ford dealers. I sold many to owners of 32s, 34s, and others. It was difficult to find 32, 33, and 34 trunk handles in good shape w/keys then & now.
