I think '35 was last year using same general parts as '32 and Model A...?
If so, look at the finger things that grip the glass and the molded rubber pads; original metal parts are hollow, and the rubber has a ridge that fits into said hollow. Repro is generally solid metal, and rubber pad is either molded without ridge or ridge is razored away to allow assembly. Original grips, repro not so much.
A&L parts repros are apparently the good ones if you don't have originals available.
