Technical What are these "levers"

I'm positive these came from my '40 Chrysler. Too much time has passed since taking them off.......IDK what their function was.
They are the same part; no L or R.
It is possible that there was only one used on the car, but there was an extra??
Per the pic, a #6 screw fits in; a #8 is too large.

 

I'd have to guess..........vent window latches?

 

That was my first thought, Are they brass? HRP

 

they go on the heaters. Flap switch.

 

I think the heater in mine had been replaced at one time by an Atlas heater.
There isn't any protruding Ø .250 stub shafts on it at all.

 

I'm clueless! But they are certainly neat looking.

 

@sodakmini is on his game......

 

Could they be to operate the seat position ?

 

@Joe Blow
that must've been what was in mine.
Lever is just like that and just as sodakmini described.
Anyone need 1 ?

 

Could someone tell my wife I was right for once??

 

Yep, he's the man.

 

Vacuum wiper motor switch?

 

Sorry man , all that would earn you is her having to prove you wrong a couple or three times in the future, you will not know how or when Trust me I know this first hand and repeatedly

 

Not if she thinks they're from a Dodge!

 

Tank valve lever to switch fuel tank on big trucks ...

 

^ they do look like that..wonder if Chrysler outsourced them at one time

 

Sure look like gas valve handles on a propane rig...

 

I suspect those little handles have been used for a lot of different things over the years. They could be chrome plated, left original, or be painted pretty much any color needed to match something. With a set screw and a flat spot on the round shaft, they could lock onto many 1/4" shafts and could open and close a lot of stuff. Depending on if the hole for the screw went all the way through the handle, they could have even been pinned.

 

How cool is that !
