Need help identifying the origin of this steering wheel. Picked it up from a customer who said he thought it came off a 1934 Mercedes Benz. Has the HELLA insignia cast into one of the spokes, which i believe means its german. It,s 16.5" diameter. I want to top off my Schroeder steering with it in my 31 "A" sedan project, but will have to do some modifications to make it work. Would like to know that it's not worth a fortune before I cut on it. I was thinking of using a 58 Jag wheel, until I priced one out at $1,200.00. Makes me wonder if this one might not be worth even more. Please help.
Looks like it is from the early 30's to me I would not cut that up but thats my opinion.... By a Bell style...http://www.riley-auto.com/STEERING_WHEELS.html
