What kind of fat man steering wheel is this?
I have the fat man steering wheel. I couldn't find any makers mark on it. It's in really good shape. I'm looking to sell it so I want to ask a fair price on it.
Thanks
Mike Bird

Hi Mike,
That is a Bauer steering wheel, yours is missing the name plate, but otherwise looks quite nice.

Re: What kind of fat man steering wheel is this?
Bauer made several models of fatman wheels for the model T. Personally, I think that is one of the best looking ones! I have seen a few of these, but a lot of the straight spoke models (even I have one of the straight spoke models).
I don't recall who it was, but someone a couple years ago made reproductions of the Bauer nameplate because so many of them were missing. Maybe someone still has a few of those available?

Older post from 2018 on replacement name plates, got one for my wheel, and the quality was excellent. Perhaps still available, email to poster may help.
