Have you ever seen this, we have not

Bill Devine and his wife were here yesterday looking around and he spotted these
door check straps with Firestone Logo, how cool is that, has anyone ever seen or known these were made? Bob

Haven’t seen those specific door checks, but rather sure these are molded rubber by Firestone.

Rubber check straps are common after the T era.

Yes. Firestone. Used on some of the Model A body styles, in various lengths. 8 11/16" long would be 28-29 coupe and tudor models. Most were chocolate brown, but some may have been black. How are they for flexibility after so many years? I know Model A restorers that may be interested if for sale.
