Odd Model A gear shift lever
Question- The gear shift lever that came with my 31 Tudor seems to be made of machined stainless steel, and is not chrome plated. Please see photos.
It looked so neat, and feels so solid, I just reused it after restoring the car. Does it look like someone spent a ton of time or money making this one-off? Or, did someone make a stainless repro at one point? Trying to discover its origins.
Unfortunately, I am only able it trace this car's history to about 1970, then the trail ends. The man who did its first restoration was a guy that restored several Model As over his lifetime, and was known for spare-no-expense, no detail overlooked restorations. So, this has me puzzled.
Thank you in advance!
