The second one down in better condition is attached. This one is for sale if anyone is interested.
I need a vent handle for a 32-901 if anyone has one for sale.

Too funny. It's hard to believe that the one we have could have been bent like that without being put in a vice with some heavy duty hammer blows applied. One certainly couldn't have bent the thing while mounted in the car.

Yes I believe it is. The bends seem un natural but I think that is the way they were made. My buddy has a 32 901 also and I think his is like this one. West ? is it for sale ? Thanks.

Photo attached of the correct handle for a 32 901, it seems to have the same mounting holes as the bent one that West has shown.

Gary. The one at the top of my photo is the bent one, and it is for the 1937. The one on the bottom is for the 1932, and is not bent (any more than it's supposed to be, that is).
The handle we have is not for sale at this time. We also have a reproduction (in brass, no plating). Once we decide which one we want to keep, it will be for sale.

I need a 1932 cowl vent handle for my 902 club sedan. Have you decided what if you will part with your brass one. Do you have any leads for one? Would you have a drawing so I can get one made?

Thanks
Mark
