1952-59 Ford '54 horn ring. Is there supposed to be a top half?

Not sure. This is in pretty good shape but I can't tell if the top half is broken off or its supposed to be like this. Also, this isn't a 50th anniversary edition or anything special, is it? Can someone set me straight?

 

Yes - it is broken off. This pic is blurry but shows the top part of the ring.. The horn ring is an accessory, not a factory item as far as I know.

 

Yes. HRP

 

Thanks guys! I'm cleaning out the shop so into the trash it goes.

 

You might want to save the center medallion.

 

If you are going to toss it, send it to me. I will pay shipping

 

Evintho…..what you have is a 53 horn ring. That horn ring can be restored to have the proper half ring on top. The bottom ring of a common standard 54 horn ring can be carefully cut off including small sections of the horizontal piece and grafted onto the accessory horn ring to replace the missing upper ring. I found a skilled welder years ago who was able to weld pot metal and then I had my restored ring replated. The graft cannot be seen and it never broke again to this date. Please don’t throw that piece away!
