Default Help identifying Emergency Brake Handle

Can anyone help me identify this emergency brake handle?

The handle itself is 20 1/2” long, about 2 3/8” longer than a Model A handle, and has the bend at the top like a 1935-36 handle. It is painted black, and looks like it was never plated. Perhaps it is from a truck.
The rod through the handle has the offset bend at the bottom, and is about 20 inches long.
The pawl is the 5/16” thick version used through 1937.
The ratchet is 5/16” thick, and looks like it bolts to the side of the transmission on 4 inch centers.
The pull rod is not adjustable, and measures 18 3/4 inches between holes.

I too have a few similar to that one. I thought one might fit my coupe but so far have not been able to create that correct bracket for them. I will keep bending steel until I get one made hopefully.

Other than the bend at the handle it looks a lot like my 32.

Cant say for sure because so many of them look alike, but it does look like the one that came with my 35 Dodge truck. Seems to mount the same way.
