hddennis Posted January 8, 2010 Author Share Posted January 8, 2010 Just curious? 70 views and nobody has a clue about what these fit?Howard Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Howard...I think they fit my lamp... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 They actually look like 1935 and 1937 to me...'37 being the longer one. A Packard guy should know and should have rung in by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hddennis Posted January 9, 2010 Author Share Posted January 9, 2010 Thanks John, that's what puzzled me, I didn't think this would take over an hour and your the first reply 4 days later AFTER prodding! And your not even a Packard guy! Thanks for sending that lamp picture, I'd heard about them but yours is the first I've ever seen.Howard Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 I was going to answer sooner, but I thought there would be a Packard guy on it really fast...I was wrong. Here's another lamp like mine...same caps. Heard they were made by a guy at a dealer who had swapped out these for the cormorant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hddennis Posted January 9, 2010 Author Share Posted January 9, 2010 Those are so neat, I'll have to check eBay!Howard Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hddennis Posted January 11, 2010 Author Share Posted January 11, 2010 For future reference do I need to know some code word or secret handshake to get an answer on Packard parts?? I can't believe out of 119 views everyone is completely stumped. I spend a lot of time on here and always try to help people out that ask something that I have the least little bit of knowledge about. Sometimes I'll go do hours of research and come back with what I've found. People did it in the past for me and I feel I owe it back. Have I done something wrong or offended anyone?Howard Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1935Packard Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 (edited) Howard, I don't really know the answer to your question. But since you seem troubled that you're not getting any answers, I'll tell you why I don't know the answer and what I know about related questions.About two years ago, I bought pretty much exactly what you have in those photos on Ebay that was advertised as a '35. But it wasn't for a '35. So now I have one of those in my garage collecting dust, too. I think it's for a later car -- maybe a '37? -- but I don't know. I just know it's not for a '35. So I think the answer is later than '35, but I don't really know anything more than that.I'll add that I post here pretty frequently, and the nature of the board is that sometimes I get a response and sometimes I don't. Nothing personal; it's just that we all have different schedules, different frequency of checking, and different levels of expertise.

Clipper47 Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 (edited) Howard, I don't understand why you have not received a reply by now. Although I have little knowledge of pre war Packards I will hazard a guess that these ornaments are the standard bail type from the 11th to 15th Series Packards (1934-1937). They seem to be identical to the photos in the Packard, A History etc. book. Hope this will help. No secret hand shake required from me. BTW why not post the photos with the numbers on the bottom over at http://packardinfo.com/xoops/html/modules/article/and see what the experts over there say.

hddennis Posted January 12, 2010 Author Share Posted January 12, 2010 (edited) Thanks guys at least I know 3 people are reading my posts. Did you guys notice that both caps fasten differently? Picture 1 & 2 fastens with a tab, shims and cotter pin. 3 & 4 fastens with a bolt.Howard Dennis Edited January 12, 2010 by hddennis (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clipper47 Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Yes, but I am the wrong guy to ask why as I have no idea? :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1935Packard Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 I didn't notice that. The mystery continues.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Block Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 My 42 is not a bail cap style, the last bail caps were in 1940, but as indicated yours appears to be earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD in KC Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 I am one of the folks who viewed your post. Generally I stick to answering questions about the years of Packard I have some knowledge of (1941, 1948, 1949, 1950). I did spend considerable time trying to match the part number which as best I can make out is 304766 using the 1935-1941 Parts Manual. I didn't have any luck so I didn't respond. The closest I could come was Part 304767. Here's what I found, maybe it will help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_Mack_CT Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 I thought it might be later than mid - thirties as well, like 40-41 but do not know for sure. Did not initiallly respond as I am a believer that bad info, even if well intentioned, can be worse than no response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD in KC Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Maybe the part number is 304768 (the last digit is hard to make out). If so, then it is for a 1936-1937 model. As Packards42 indicated, this style was discontinued by 1941. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hddennis Posted January 12, 2010 Author Share Posted January 12, 2010 Well. at least everyone tried and I do appreciate that. The last ornament is definitely 304766, clear as a bell . It's now on it's way to a Canadian collector who seemed to think it would fit his car and I haven't heard anything back so maybe it did. This one with the odd attachment method is still unknown.Howard Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Packard Don Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 This reply is a little late as you seem to have already learned what you needed to know. However, '41 and '42 did have an ornament that was based on the bail but without the bail itself. Just like yours, it was what you got if you didn't order one of the special ornaments but for those two years it was different between junior and senior models. Back to yours, '38 and '39 would have been longer and '40 even longer still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
