Can anyone who knows they have an original pair, or even one original 26-27 enclosed car window riser handle, post a picture of it, knob side up? for 55 years, I have been using Model A window riser handles, but I'm looking at a pair that the owner says are originals. For those 55 years, I have known that there were slight differences between 26-27 originals and the Model A handles, and these handles I'm looking at, are different that the Model A reproductions I am using.

Might be of some help, took these pics of a rather nice little messed with '27 coupe.
But both are different, don't know if originals or not.

The shape of the handle body could be different. But current repro's are chrome & may match Model A (button portion)

After examining the photos of the T window riser handles, I have determined they are originals, however, I also noticed that they are the earlier type used prior to 1926, which used a nut on the end of the shaft to secure the handles, so they are no use to me.

1925 & a few years earlier, window riser handles were held in place with a rather large headed slotted screw - totally different than the '26 - '27.
