correct T handle for Judge
 

What is the correct T handle for the Judge suppose to look like?
I have seen 2 types, the one with the number 4(closed) like this and the other with the four open.

Open 4 is correct. Py sells the correct one, I bought one this year in bowling green. AMES for example, sells the incorrect one.

Correct for what year?

are they different by year? 69,70,71

Yep and the real ones are different than the repros sold today if your anal about it.

What are the differences by year? I guess I assumed open 4 was correct for all years.

What was used for the 3 speed Judges?

please show us the differences in them

I've got a correct reproduction one I'd sell for $ 40 shipped.

When did this turn into the classifieds?


Just f n with ya Boss!

No problem, just trying to monopolize on an opportunity. :D

can you tell if this is an original?

The polished handle on the right reminds me of the 1969 or 1970 (forget which year it was) Ford Boss 302 T-handle. It will have a hole drilled in the end and a set screw in the threads if so.

I sold this thing on e-bay for a "few" dollars.:D

The handle on the right is after I polished the handle that's on the left. It was heavily oxidized with minor pitting, so I sanded with diffeernt grits and than hand polished it.
I was hoping to hear if the pattern was original or a reproduction.
I know it should be brushed, just haven't had time to mess with getting to the brushed finish.

They look original to me. I have a collection of used and nos ones and ones off low mileage survivors and none of my originals have the brushed finish.
