1926-27 Window Riser handles.
Can anyone who knows they have an original pair, or even one original 26-27 enclosed car window riser handle, post a picture of it, knob side up? for 55 years, I have been using Model A window riser handles, but I'm looking at a pair that the owner says are originals. For those 55 years, I have known that there were slight differences between 26-27 originals and the Model A handles, and these handles I'm looking at, are different that the Model A reproductions I am using.

Re: 1926-27 Window Riser handles.
Might be of some help, took these pics of a rather nice little messed with '27 coupe.
But both are different, don't know if originals or not.

Did some info searching & reading

The shape of the handle body could be different. But current repro's are chrome & may match Model A (button portion)

The past is a great place and I don't want to erase it or to regret it, but I don't want to be its prisoner either.

Re: 1926-27 Window Riser handles.
After examining the photos of the T window riser handles, I have determined they are originals, however, I also noticed that they are the earlier type used prior to 1926, which used a nut on the end of the shaft to secure the handles, so they are no use to me.

Re: 1926-27 Window Riser handles.
1925 & a few years earlier, window riser handles were held in place with a rather large headed slotted screw - totally different than the '26 - '27.
