oldford Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Me thinks it's a tissue holder for the armrest of a 1930's sedan. I don't recognized the flower motif...Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
30sclassics Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Probably a compact holder or note pad holder. Usually combined with an ashtray in the rear seat armrests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dr_detail Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 looks like it could be the outer housing for a set of pinafore style turn signals (those that would pop out like flags). I detailed an old Rolls (from the teens) that had something like those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Yaros Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I second the semaphore turn signal bezel id myself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jajolee Posted December 15, 2011 Author Share Posted December 15, 2011 does somebody have a picture from the item in it's original placei think it's to small for a turnsignal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dr_detail Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 I don't have a detailed picture of ones like in your picture, however they mounted vertically in the B pillar (between the front and rear doors) and a piece popped out like a flag indicating your intention to turn - I remember a set quite similar were on a '30 Rolls Royce. They were also used on many a Volkswagon Bugs in the 60's (although they were not as ornate). They may also be the outer bezel for a light fixture that would be mounted in the same place.

West Peterson Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 (edited) Waaaaaay too short for turn signal bezel. Also, I don't know as if I've ever seen a fancy bezel like that around a turn signal.I'm with Oldford and Luvtheclassics; to me, it looks to be something for the interior. Note pad holder.

Richard Lichtfel Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 This looks like the flange used around the speed control lever for a player piano. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalef62 Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 They are from a '20s car and are for your iPod... One for each kid in the back seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curti Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 A bezel around a foot rest. The slot is there to enable the footrest to move up and forward out of the way when someone enters the rear passenger compartment of a 20's sedan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
