Restoration specialties of Winber PA (814-467-9842, 814-467-9282) has a blue million of those, that's the good news. The bad news is that you can't call them up and say "Do you have a door handle spring for a 1934 Packard"? they have lots and lots of them, no idea at all what they fit. Take yours apart, clean it up pretty good then put it in a copy machine with a ruler, like Owen Dyneto did here, take a dial caliper or micrometer and measure the width of the spring and the thickness (section) and write that on the photocopy of the spring, and fax it (814-467-5323) to restoration specialties, they have hundreds of what you need, and they are cheap.
These are essential for cars of that era, they all get a bad case of the droopy door handles, get these new springs from restoration specialties and they will be snappy, like new.
DO NOT CALL THEM AND ASK FOR THEM BY MAKE/MODEL/YEAR.
