What were the door handles and related handles plated with? Mine look like they may have been nickel also were they shiny nickel or a butler finish?
Thanks

For '29-'32 the inside handles and bright work are nickel plated. Outside is chrome plated or stainless.

this forum has been a great help. i took my stuff in to be plated and the guy insisted the radiator shell should be nickle not chrome. i think he is used to an off brand car model A. we couldn't tell what anything was plated with, so this saved me. thanks..


they don't make em like they usedta
