What year is this from?

[n.c.rodder]

Ok guys, I bought this off Ebay a couple of years ago. Was told it was for a 39 Chevy, which its not. Any way I want to sell it, but would like to know what year it is exactly. I know somebody out here knows what it fits. :?

Looks like a chevron design in the handle, similar to 1940 Ford tail lights. Maybe a '40? I'm guessing though...

Alright time to bring this back to the top. You mean to tell me over 150 people have looked at this and NOBODY!!  :?  :?  knows what it fits?

How about a different pic showing the side. Maybe I just have no imagination but what the heck is it supposed to be?

It's a door handle Jack.  See the keys sticking in the lock at the top of the picture.  I don't know what year tho. :?

My guess is a trunk handle, probably GM. Can we see the other side?

Mike,

Looks like a '40 Chevy to me. Give me a measurement end-to-end on the outside and from the lock face to the end of the shaft and I'll compare to a couple I have.

From end to end it measures 4 1/2" and from face to shaft end is 4 1/4"
Heres a side view. I was told it was a trunk handle for a 39 Chevy, but its definetely not the same as what I have on there right now.

Not a '40 door handle - too small in bothy dimensions and the two V's on the face is wrong.

'41-'42 Pontiac trunk handle? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1941-1942-pontiac-new-trunk-handle-with-keys_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ34204QQihZ002QQitemZ120054445853QQrdZ1

It looks just like the one on my 41 Pontiac, so George has it right.  I've got a replacement that I bought for the car, that doesn't match; my new one is for series 24 & 29, mine is a series 26.

The handle in my pic is for 41 Buick all; 42 to 48 Buick, series 40, 60, 90; and the aforementioned Pontiacs.  The chrome part is about 5 1/4" long.

'41-'42 Pontiac trunk handle?

Thats the ticket!!! Thanks George  

I knew someone, somewhere would know what it was for. That would explain why I couldn't seam to match it up with any of the Chevys
