    Going through some of fathers things and found this paper weight. Thinks it’s probably form the 60’s, anyone every seen one before? [​IMG][​IMG]

    That's super cool, how big is it? I'd be tempted to cut the top off of a big round shifter knob and mount that to the top if it's not too big diameter overall.

    May have been made out of a magnifier & an Isky decal. I did a Columbia overdrive ashtray out of green depression glass & a piece of felt for the base - looked like it was made in 1939.
    Ed is still with us - call him & ask if it's authentic !

    That one calls for a nice mid-'50s steering wheel, (Pont. Olds, or...) and attach it to the center, like an "Isky Horn Button"...
    @302GMC lit my fire with the magnifier over the Columbia Overdrive ash tray...
    What an idea... :cool:
