1912Staver Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 They look like attaching clips , most likely for side trim. There are hundreds of different ones. Any packaging ? Hard to identify unless one of the common ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wayne sheldon Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 (edited) The size and shape of the big part fits a specific size of stainless trim. They slip in, slide into position, then twist tighter to hopefully snap into place, still loose enough to slide a small amount if needed. They need to be lined up to fit holes (about a quarter inch size) in the fender, door, or body panel. This was one of the most common ways to hold side trim onto fender/door/body panels with poor access to the back inside through pout the 1950s and 1960s. Some similar ideas were used as far back as the late 1930s, usually smaller in size. Edited June 15 by wayne sheldon (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeShmoe Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 The small silver ones are for Christmas tree ornaments. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
