bone yard find
I found this steering wheel assembly in a bone yard, does anyone know what it will fit? What it is worth? Anyone interested in it? It has been outside in the weather for years, do not know how long. It is a little over 4' long and a 17" steering wheel and wires coming out the bottom. It is located near Pittsburgh, PA.

Re: bone yard find
Its a Model A. Years? I think the steering box is what people are after
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.

It's a 1930-31 Model A two-tooth steering column, a big improvement when this design came out in mid-1929 to replace the virtually wear non-adjustable 1928-29 seven-tooth gear box.

Re: bone yard find
The steering wheel and shaft and gear box are a 30-31 Model A, however, the light switch at the bottom end is something else. Maybe some sort of replacement switch?

Re: bone yard find
Light switch looks stock to me. The switches often filled with grease and became "touchy". The column assembly is rebuildable, and may only need cleaning and rewiring. Parts are available.
