30 Rumble Seat Handles

Hi Guys,
Read the post from Ross about rumble seat handles. I'm pretty sure when I first met Ray Zenz in the early 70's at Hershey His prize find was a rumble seat handle for his coupe and it was T shaped with "spears" and locked.Does any one actually have one of these? Or am I all wet!

Thanks,
Dave

Re: 30 Rumble Seat Handles

Dave I wondered about that. Only pic in DMAC photos of the rear of a car is 612 Deluxe Coupe-Frank Lersch and his has the T handle. I assume all exterior handles match the same design (spears).

My front window handle was a smaller (spears) crank handle on my old 30 614, which matches the 1930 owners manual, but Dororthy's is a T one and it matches the art deco of the other handles inside. Seems our Dominion 1932 614 / 618 got away from the spear handles and inside / outside don't match anymore.
