Old Hood Down Latches, pls help me to ID?

[anama97]

Can you help me to identify this pair of hood hold downs? and is there any catalog or web site with this type of information because I have a bunch of them ...

Thanks in advance.

Hi Anama, unfortunately there is no reference list for hood latches. It is one of my hopes that as the "information age" progresses , data bases such as this come into being. There are so many antique auto parts that are in existence but un- identified as to specific make- model-year. There are hundreds of different hood latches, some common .some rare. Identification is largely a mater of luck. Greg in Canada

Thanks Greg. I try to grab any literature from the early cars because there were so many models/makes that as you say they hard to identify.

Thanks anyway and keep up with our great hobby.
