I can only speak for what I have and where it came from. The starter switche seen below came from a May 1928 Tudor that was original/unmolested that was being turned into a hot-rod. Overall, the car was in great condition with no modifications or "changes" from factory. It does not show too well in the photo but the switch body is both cad plate, with the black paint over top. The pushrod is only in black paint, you can see chips in the paint at certain points and a wear mark where it had gone through the floorboard.



The top of the button is worn from use, but the underside was just dirty with black paint under the dirt. There is no sign of cad plating that I can see. The photo below is of the stud for the battery cable, it still had what was left of the battery cable attached to it when I got the motor and other parts. It was a Ford script terminal, but unfortunately the cable was unceremoniusly cut with a pair of snips or loppers. I still have the terminal end floating around in a drawer somewhere.
