Steering wheel, column & sector identification please

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by GAOldsman, Feb 16, 2013.

  1. Well being a third generation enthusiast I clearly do not know every make and their logos (for lack of a better word :eek:) Anyway I inherited my Dad's shop full of goodies and found this steering column, wheel and sector. It looks to be very early as in 20's or up to mid 30's :confused: But the identifying aspect is a boat on the center of the steering wheel horn button. I have done several searches to find the make and year but being it is a boat, skiff or sailboat all of my searches reveal a "helm" like shown below

    :rolleyes: :eek: So this is why I am polling the experts. Pictures can be taken of this rig if need be. Thanks to any and all replies :cool:

  2. Anyone know what car manufacturer used a boat image on the steering wheel center cap?

  4. Thanks Chaddilac. I am still not sure because I looked up Packard steering wheels and couldn't find the image of the boat. I need to go down to my shop sometime this afternoon so I'll snap a pic or three of it to post.
     
  5. Okay gents I went down and snapped a few pics. What do you think it is from? :confused:

  11. Perfect thanks again thunderbirdesq :cool:
     
  12. I am assuming this straight :)D) front axle goes with the column & sector, just want to be 100% positive because if I decide to sell them maybe the interested party may want the package.

    The double-dip tube axle is worth more than any of the rest of that. Even more if you strip all the rusty springs/brakes/spindles off it (usually a half day's work). Hot rodders like to ream the ends for use with Ford spindles. Worth at least a hundred.
     
  14. Thanks alchemy although I see the steering wheel alone go for at least that by itself :confused:

    Yeah def looks like 38 Plymouth i have 2 RHD ones in my garage. Quite hard to find one of them here a lot of people using them in their Model A's.
     
  16. What Alchemy said, those double dip axles are fairly sought after.
