Re: The trunk handle has a mind of its own

I have several used 1948-50 trunk lid handles and none of them show any sign of coming apart. It looks like they are very similar to the 21st series handles with a spring washer between the thimble and the escutcheon plate and the shaft secured to the handle by the heavy crimp in the thimble that extends through to the pot metal handle as evident in the photo of the handle posted by HH.

Here are some photos of a 1948-50 handle.

Assembled distance from the end of the square shaft to the pot metal handle is 2-11/16 inches.
