    I picked this up at the swap meet today. Just wondering if anyone knows what it's from. I'm putting it on my '47 Ford. Thanks

    Installed. It even fit into the old screw holes in the door! The give away will hopefully be the 3 little wind splits on the base. Maybe it's just an old JCW job? It is new, but it was loose with a bunch of other used mirrors.

    Prob. an aftermarket piece made by Yankee or Detroit Products in the 60's and 70's. they had a lot of similar styles.

    Also looks very much like Studebaker Hawk mirrors.
    I think I have at least one.

    Bump. Anyone else? It had some marks on the inside, but no brand name or good clues.
