[TA455HO]

Thanks Dennis for that vote of confidence in the repro Polyglas GT.

I drive a bit spirited. Somewhere probably between Craig and my Uncle Ken Petersen mentioned here, although they misspelled our last name in the upper text - it is correct below in the list of championships won.

Wiper blades and inserts were mentioned in another thread and there are some good reproductions by now I would imagine.

If I said these were NOS would you believe me? Both ends of each blade have the

TRICO
MADE IN USA

stamped opposite to each other - meaning one is stamped 180 degress opposite to the other end. Nice clear stampings as you can see.

But, an even smaller detail is that the inserts have this molded into the rubber. The one further away is more in focus.

U. S. PATENT NO. 2697241

Originally filed in 1950 by Trico Products Corp and published in 1954. If you keep scrolling down you can see all the related patents. Some are.

Trico
General Motors
John W Anderson
etc.

And notice the Description ends with Anderson Company, Gary, Indiana.

That's ANCO, one of the other big players.

I wonder if the reproductions include the patent number?
