That first pair you have are killer, I have a few... The last pair fit '40-'48 wheels, the first three fit '36-'39 wide 5, and the fourth one has an odd backing but it matches the first one with the ripple count.
I'll have to agree as well - the first one pictured is pretty f'n deluxe. This is the first time I've ever seen a bar that was that detailed. There are definitely a lot of different styles that were made over the years and they're all set apart by their own attention to detail. They are the "go to" (IMO) wheel accessory when talking about early customs or even stockers that wanted a little something extra. Thanks for posting this. Here's some pics of mine. Thanks!
In 12 years on the HAMB I don't think I've ever responded to something just to say, "whoa...cool." But those caps with the extra detail on the bar are worth breaking that streak. I've never seen them before, but they are really cool.
