I just went through all my 1930 Coupe wiring and the starter switch housing did not have a gasket on it.

On another note: The safety fuse on my car had the "mounting plate" positioned "under" the starter switch housing and while it did not look out of place in that position, inside the switch housing the switch contact face was off angle because of the shimming effect the fuse block mounting plate had. One side of the starter switch was doing all the work (electricity transfer) when the starter was engaged. I moved the fuse block to the outside or "on top" of the starter switch housing to correct the off angle contact patch.
