Re: cigar lighters for a 39

The picture below shows the "cat's eye" lighters from my 1934 Eight; the one with the large head went in front on the dash and was sized and styled to match the starter switch button on the opposite side of the panel, chrome to match the rest of the dash trim. The smaller head ones (nickel or German silver) are from the rear smoking sets. I believe the same ones were used thru 1936 in the Super 8, again uncertain about the Twelve, but some senior cars had cat's eye type at least thru 1939.

Sorry, not much familiarity with the cigar lighters of the later years and can't help with the question at hand though I believe somewhere I may some interior pictures of a 39 Twelve, if they show anything useful I'll post.
