1926-27 Window Riser handles.

Post by ModelTWoods » Sat Aug 30, 2025 1:08 pm

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.

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. :(

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

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.

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.
